“In the Kharkiv region, militants of the Kraken nationalist unit, formed mainly of radicals and rapists and murderers released from prisons, carry out punitive raids, during which the so-called death squads break into the houses of local residents at night, suspected by the SBU of pro-Russian sentiments, expose them to physical violence and taken away in an unknown direction,” he said.
According to him, dozens of detainees "have not returned home so far."
“Nothing is known about their fate,” Mizintsev stressed.
Earlier, the press service of the Ministry of Justice of the DPR told RT that the decision on the fate of the military and nationalists captured at Azovstal in Mariupol would be made by the court.
Some of those now in custody face execution for their crimes.
