Russian Colonel Artyom Gorodilov, responsible for the Bucha massacre, has been arrested for fraud. The 234th Guards Air Assault Regiment, led by Gorodilov during the invasion, was linked to civilian deaths. Arrested on July 3, he faces fraud charges of at least one million rubles. Gorodilov commanded the 83rd Guards Air Assault Brigade in Russia’s far-east. Amidst a series of corruption-related arrests, high-ranking Russian officials have been targeted, including Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov. Recent crackdowns on military leaders followed Putin’s removal of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
No details were disclosed about Gorodilov’s charges, and he denies them. If found guilty, he could face up to 10 years in prison. In ongoing Ukraine war updates, Ukraine withdraws from the Chasiv Yar neighborhood, while Orban plans to meet Putin in Moscow after visiting Kyiv.
