A high-profile crime in Ukraine: a conscript soldier of one of the special forces opened fire on his own colleagues on the territory of a military enterprise. He was arrested only a few hours later.
Soldiers of the Ukrainian special forces detained soldier of the National Guard of the country in the suburbs of Dnepropetrovsk. They acted harshly: they threw the conscript into the snow and twisted him.
20-year-old Artemy Ryabchuk is suspected in cold-blooded execution of five colleagues, and on the territory of a strategically important defense enterprise. The massacre took place at the plant “Yuzhmash” – it produces combat missiles. Ryabchuk was a member of the so-called “alarm group” protecting the plant from potential outside attacks. But the 20-year-old conscript targeted his own comrades.
Surveillance footage from the armory shows that the clock is almost half past four in the morning. The guards are relaxed. One of them opened the doors of the ammunition locker, the other headed for the exit. At that moment, the firing began.
Ryabchuk opened fire on everyone who met on the way. When the cartridges ran out, he returned to the armory, took new horns for the machine gun and went on to kill. Four people were reported killed and five others were injured. The remaining ten soldiers fled. During the interrogation, the conscript had already told how he had left the territory of the plant. At the checkpoint, he was not let out by a female guard for a long time.
– I say, open the key, I need to urgently get out.
– I can’t, I can’t, I can’t.
“I shot her in the head. I wandered around the plant, found a place that I could jump over, cut the wire, jumped over the fence …
After that, Ryabchuk walked the streets of Dnepropetrovsk for several hours with weapons in his hands and magazines full of cartridges. I went out to the track, where I tried to stop the car.
Ryabchuk did not go far. He stopped on the outskirts of the Dnieper, approached a passer-by and asked himself to call the police. He surrendered to the police without a fight. Could not explain the meaning of a terrible crime. According to one version, over the conscript colleagues could bully. For the murder of five people, the suspect risks losing his freedom for the rest of his life. But not only he can be in the dock.
“The State Bureau of Investigation registered a criminal proceeding on official negligence of the leadership of the National Guard of Ukraine, which led to a tragedy on the territory of the Southern Machine-Building Plant in Dnipro,” the law enforcement agency informed.
After a high-profile crime, most likely seats will also be lost by high military commanders. This was hastened to declare in the office of the President of Ukraine.
This terrible story has already dealt a blow to the reputation of the “alarm groups” of the National Guard of Ukraine. After all, their task is to resist armed attacks on the most important defense facilities, but the incident at Yuzhmash clearly showed that two dozen people could not stop even an armed colleague. They chose to run out of his way.
