Man provided information on restaurant in Kramatorsk that was hit last June, killing 13 people including novelist Victoria Amelina
A Ukrainian man who helped Russia target a missile strike on a pizzeria in the eastern city of Kramatorsk last June has been jailed for life.
Thirteen people including the novelist and poet Victoria Amelina were killed when a Russian ballistic missile tore through the popular Ria Pizza restaurant on the evening of 27 June 2023.
“A local resident was sentenced to life imprisonment for guiding the occupiers’ missile attack on the pizzeria in Kramatorsk,” the office of Ukraine’s prosecutor general said on Thursday.
It said the man was recruited to carry out the task by an intelligence official in the Russian-controlled part of the eastern Donetsk region, who asked him to gather information about the restaurant.
