MOSCOW – The Russian Investigative Committee has charged in absentia suspects in the attacks on the Russian embassy in Kyiv in 2014 and 2016, Russian Investigative Committee official Svetlana Petrenko said.
“Charges have been filed in absentia against Volodymyr Nazarenko, an activist of the association Svoboda, Volodymyr Romantsov and former Verkhovna Rada deputy Mykola Rudkovsky, who hold ultra-radical views,” Petrenko told Interfax on Feb. 6.
The said persons have been charged in absentia with “attacking an establishment that enjoys international protection.”
The same charges have been filed in absentia against Irma Krat, former leader of the Maidan Women’s Hundred, and two former Aidar battalion fighters Serhiy Novikov and Oleksandr Vysota.
