Officials from the State Bureau of Investigations have notified two soldiers from the medical company of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment Skelia of their status as suspects in connection with the cruel treatment of fellow soldiers.
According to Ukrinform, the SBI reported this.
“With the assistance of the military unit’s command, SBI officials have charged two soldiers from the medical company of the Skelia regiment who, according to the investigation, beat and unlawfully detained two fellow soldiers in the Kirovohrad region,” the bureau stated.
Law enforcement officials established that in May 2026, the two soldiers were discharged from the hospital for violating established rules and sent to the unit’s medical unit.
“The suspects decided to ‘punish’ them on their own for the disciplinary violations. They struck the victims numerous times and then locked them in a utility building, where they continued the abuse. One of the soldiers lost consciousness. He was hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury, a broken nose, and other bodily injuries,” the State Bureau of Investigation stated.
