Stalin Chubenko, mother shot dead by militants of the so-called “DNR” student of Stepan Chubenko, outraged that one of the suspects in the murder – mercenary Vadim Pogodin – released in occupied Crimea, she stated in comments to Radio Liberty.
“I learned about the release of Pogodin in the evening of July 29 from social networks. Very happy those who petitioned for it that Vadim free. While at liberty, I think,” she said. “I think that after all the necessary papers – I don’t know or not – will be considered that Ukraine doesn’t leave. I the court said that the documents (for extradition. – Ed.) sent to Russia. I think justice must prevail. Criminal case opened in “DNR”, they’re considered criminals. I think my son is not their only victim,” added Chubenko.
“I don’t know why it (Pogodin. – Ed.) released. Maybe petitioned for it by people close to the government. I hope to get a reply from the Russian Prosecutor’s office. I sent them a letter: whether they received the documents, reviewed them,” said mother.
“Understand that on the territory of Ukraine the citizen of Ukraine was killed – rather brutally tortured – minor citizen of Ukraine. It is therefore logical that they had to consider the documents and extradite him to Ukraine, where the crime was committed,” said Chubenko.
