Breaking: Russian court charges 12 Ukrainian sailors for trespassing
The Russian Investigative Committee has opened two criminal cases over the attacks on Russian diplomatic missions in Ukraine after the Kerch Strait incident.
“The main directorate of the Russian Investigative Committee has initiated two criminal cases on the basis of the offense under Article 360 Part 2 of the Russian Criminal Code (“Attacks on persons or buildings under international protection”),” Committee Spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko informed TASS.
“According to the investigation, on November 25-26, 2018, unidentified persons, acting in a group with intent and prior agreement, carried out attacks on the building of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, Kiev with the aim to complicate relations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. The attackers threw smoke grenades and other pyrotechnic articles on its territory,” she added.
On November 26, radical groups conducted a similar attack on the Russian General Consulate in Kharkov.
“Embassy buildings and their property receive international protection and immunity in accordance with the norms of international law, and, of course, the attackers were aware of that,” Petrenko stressed.
“The Investigative Committee is taking all existing legal measures aimed at identifying the persons involved in carrying out these offences,” she stressed.
This is bad. They’re trying to bait Russia and draw us in. We are at war. When the hell do we take the gloves off. Declare Marshall L@w! I’ve had it. Dissidents and freaks devoted to overturning my country have NO RIGHT to speak out against their own people that is SEDITION and when in the HELL that we find ourselves STILL stuck in will we finally be able to take the offensive?
