Six servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, who shot a family with two children on the Zhytomyr highway, will stand a court trial.

The prosecutors of Kyiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office sent an indictment to the court against six Russian military for violating laws and customs of war.

The investigation established that during the occupation of the villages of Severynivka, Motyzhyn and Kopyliv near Bucha, the accused conducted special raids, intimidating and terrorizing the civilian population.

At the beginning of March 2022, following the commander’s order, Russians opened fire on two civilian cars on the Zhytomyr highway.

A man with a 15-year-old daughter were in one car and his wife with an 8-year-old younger daughter were in the other car. Parents were killed at once and the elder daughter died later from wounds.

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.

Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
