Ukrainian prosecutors have the strong evidence that the Russian general Oleh Makovetsky is responsible for ‘numerous’ air assaults in Kharkiv region, including the devestating missile strike that hit a ‘Epicentr’ home improvement store.
As the Air Force’s 6th Army commander, Makovetsky ordered his army pilots in the early days of the invasion to bomb Kharkiv. What makes the situation even more shocking , the Russian general is a native of the Kharkiv region. Oleksandr Filchakov of Kharkiv Prosecutor’s office said the prosecutors are going to file new charges against Makovetsky for “ordering the destruction of the Oskil Dam” that constitues an ecocide crime under Art. 441 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code.
Makovetsky is also one of three Air Force 6th Army commanders who are facing charges over the air attacks in May and June of this year including the “Epicentr house” improvement store strike that took lives of at least 19 people.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.

You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
