Details: It was established that the Russian military, which entered the territory of the Kyiv region, not only used the civilian population as a human shield, but also used torture and other types of violence against them.
In addition, the Russian military shelled residential and infrastructure buildings, and engaged in looting.
The State Bureau of Investigation assured that the identification of other war criminals of the Russian army and the documentation of their crimes is ongoing.
Background:

- On 15 August, the journalists of Vazhnyye Istorii [Important Stories: an independent Russian website – ed.] published the names of Russian occupiers involved in the atrocities in the village of Andriivka in the Kyiv region, one of whom had confessed to the crimes.
