LPR prosecutors file 1,274 criminal cases against Ukrainian military in 2022

Lugansk People’s Republic prosecutors have filed 1,274 criminal cases since the beginning of this year over the use of prohibited means and methods of warfare by Kiev forces, prosecutor of the LPR Prosecutor General’s Office public relations department Yelena Gusak said at a press briefing at the Lugansk Media Centre.

“The PGO department for crimes involving the use of prohibited means and methods of warfare, and the department for supervision over compliance with law in the military sphere have filed 20 criminal cases over the facts of use of prohibited means and methods of warfare, as well as over genocide, and other crimes by servicemen of Ukrainian armed formations (over the past week),” Gusak said. “This year, investigators of the above department have filed 1,274 criminal cases.”

The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014.  The Donbass peace talks participants have announced ceasefire more than 20 times since the autumn of 2014. Kiev forces regularly violated the truce opening fire with large caliber artillery, mortars and tank guns which were to have been withdrawn from the contact line under the accords. *i*r
