Georgians Fired Russia’s Peacekeepers Point-Blank
Russia’s peacekeepers in South Ossetia were fired at short range, which confirms the intended-killing story, Major General Alexander Sorochkin, who heads the military investigating department, told Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper.
The close view of a killed Russian soldier proved he had been fired at short range. “Two penetrating gun wounds were found. The first one wasn’t lethal, in the leg, the second - was in the head. Traces of explosive gas burns near the entry hall are the evidence of short-range firing," Sorochin specified.
According to the general, the main thing today is not only to immediately document evidences of crimes but also to scrupulously execute the results.
South Ossetia’s authorities and the RF Defense Ministry announced that the riot troops of Georgia were firing point-blank at wounded peacekeepers of Russia already on the first day of military clashes in Tskhinvali. Under the international laws, the attack on peacekeepers is the ground for opening fire. In Tbilisi, however, they claim they had done utmost to ensure peacekeepers’ safety.
