A court in Dnipro arrested Artemy Ryabchuk, a conscript soldier of the National Guard of Ukraine, for two months, who shot five people and wounded five more at the Yuzhmash enterprise. About it informs Portal Strana.ua in Telegram.
He asked the court to send him to a pre-trial detention center, and not to a guardhouse. The court granted the request and arrested Ryabchuk until March 27 without the right to bail.
“I sincerely feel sorry for all the people I hurt with my act. I am guilty and fully aware of my guilt. It’s hard for me to remember that time,” Ryabchuk said.
