A Russian officer, a killer of civilians in Chechnya, died in Ukraine

Russian GRU special forces captain Eduard Ulman died in the SVO zone in Ukraine. This was reported by his mother and the former head of the public organization “Union of Military Personnel “Defense”” Sergei Semanchuk.

In 2002, during the second Russian-Chechen war, Russian soldiers under the leadership of Eduard Ulman shot six people near the village of Dai, Shatoi district. They stopped the car and checked the documents. After which they shot all the unarmed, peaceful men and women. Among them were a pregnant mother of seven children, her nephew, the director of a village school, the head teacher of the school, a forester and a driver.

Repeatedly, Ulman and others involved in the murders were acquitted by juries in court, but the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation overturned the verdict. In 2007, Ulman failed to appear in court and was put on the federal wanted list, but everyone who followed this process in Chechnya was sure that the Russian authorities helped him escape. He was sentenced in absentia to 14 years. Major Alexey Perelevsky, who from his headquarters gave the order to kill civilians, was sentenced to 9 years in prison.
