The Security Service of Ukraine and the Prosecutor General's Office have collected evidence against two russian war criminals involved in the mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war in the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk region in July 2022.

We are talking about collaborator Serhii Yevsiukov, the former head of the so-called "Volnovakha colony of the Donetsk People's Republic" in the village of Olenivka, and his former first deputy, collaborator Dmytro Neyolov.

According to the investigation, both defendants were in their "positions" when the racists set off explosions on the territory of the occupation prison on the night of July 29.

At least 50 Ukrainian servicemen who were held in custody were killed as a result of the shelling. At the same time, 9 of them died because they were not provided with emergency medical care. Almost 150 were injured.

Both defendants were aware of the consequences of the explosions and the number of victims, but deliberately delayed the evacuation of the wounded to medical facilities.

Based on the evidence collected, SSU investigators served Yevsiukov and Neyolov suspicion notices under Part 2 Article 28 and Part 2 Article 438 (cruel treatment of prisoners of war, combined with premeditated murder, committed by a group of persons) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

In November 2022, the occupiers "replaced" both defendants in their positions. They are currently hiding from justice in the temporarily occupied part of the Donetsk region.

Comprehensive measures are underway to find and punish the perpetrators for their crimes against Ukrainian soldiers.

The investigation was conducted under the supervision of the Prosecutor General's Office.
