Case Description
Prior to June 2022 in the occupied part of Luhansk region, 29-year-old Ukrainian citizen, commander of a tank company of the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Senior Lieutenant Vladimir Kazyuk, was taken prisoner by Russian military personnel. A criminal case was opened against him for cruel treatment of the civilian population, the use of prohibited methods in an armed conflict and intentional damage to someone else's property by explosion. According to the Russian investigation, between June 1 and 5, 2022, Kaziuk, while in a forest belt seven kilometers from the village of Vrubovka in the Popasnyansky district of the self-proclaimed "LNR, received target coordinates in the settlement. He knew there were no Russian soldiers in the village. Using a tablet with the "Nettle" program, he adjusted the targets and ordered three tank crews subordinate to him to open fire. 25 shots were fired with fragmentation-explosive shells at residential buildings on several streets, as a result of which two houses were destroyed and several were damaged. On August 14, 2023, the Supreme Court of the Lugansk People's Republic found Vladimir Kazyuk guilty and sentenced him to 15 years of imprisonment to be served in a strict regime correctional colony. There is no information about appealing the verdict.
