The Trostyanets District Court of the Sumy Region sentenced a Russian soldier who, during the occupation of the village of Boromlya, simulated the execution of a civilian woman – the mother of a Ukrainian soldier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is reported by<\/a> the “Book of Executioners” project.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is Mikhail Bakhmanov, a native of Donetsk who voluntarily joined the Russian army. During the occupation, he introduced himself to locals by the call sign Medved and called himself the village commandant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the investigation, on March 19, 2022, Bakhmanov, together with a group of Russian military personnel, came to the house of a local resident. They were looking for her son, an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and an ATO veteran.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The occupiers threatened to kill the entire family and blow up the house. During the search, they shot at a well, suspecting that a soldier might be hiding there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When the woman could not say where her son was, the Russian military threatened to take her minor grandson away. They then took the woman outside the village.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Near the pond, she was forced to walk to a hole at gunpoint, then kneel down. After that, three shots rang out. The woman perceived them as a real execution.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The victim, her grandson, and several local residents recognized Bakhmanov from photographs. An examination confirmed that the shell casings found at the scene were live ammunition for a Kalashnikov assault rifle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The court found the Russian soldier guilty of cruel treatment of civilians and violations of the laws and customs of war. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. <\/p>\n
