The Security Service of Ukraine established the identity of the soldier who shot the doctor in Izyum

The Security Service of Ukraine claims to have established the identity of a Russian soldier who, according to Ukrainian law enforcement agencies, killed forensic pathologist Fyodor Zdebsky in May 2022 in the town of Izyum, Kharkiv Region.

We are talking about a 26-year-old native of Dagestan, Akhmed Duduev, who served in the 27th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 1st Tank Army of the Western Military District of the Russian Armed Forces.

In the near future, the Ukrainian authorities will place the murder suspect on the international wanted list.

As the Ukrainskaya Pravda edition reported earlier in its own journalistic investigation, on May 7 of last year, a Russian soldier named Ahmed broke into one of the morgues in the city of Izyum. At the same time, he introduced himself as the “nephew of Ramzan Kadyrov.” The employee of the morgue, forensic medical expert Fyodor Zdebsky, said that “no one was waiting here” for the Russian soldiers. After that, Ahmed first beat Zdebsky, and then shot him.

In May last year, Izyum was under the control of the Russian army, later it was liberated by the Armed Forces.

• During the war, the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office registered more than 71,000 crimes in which Russian servicemen are suspected, including murder, rape, child abduction, looting, and theft. The Russian authorities deny all accusations.
• In February, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights reported that the number of civilians killed in Ukraine since the beginning of full-scale Russian aggression had exceeded 8,000, of which more than 2,500 were women and children. The UN emphasized that we are talking only about documented and confirmed cases. In fact, the number of deaths among the civilian population may be many times higher – due to the population centers where the most intense fighting took place (in particular, Mariupol, Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Soledar and Bakhmut) and where it is still extremely difficult to obtain complete information. In turn, the head of the War Department of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Yury Belousov, said that up to 100,000 civilians could die in an hour of war.
