Person:notes | Leonid Kharchenko était le commandant de l’unité de renseignement du "bataillon de reconnaissance" de la soi-disant "République populaire de Donetsk" et a participé de manière active au mouvement séparatiste à un stade précoce du conflit armé en Ukraine. Il a été reconnu coupable par un tribunal néerlandais de la destruction de l’appareil du vol MH17 de la Malaysia Airlines en 2014. En 2018, Kharchenko a pris sa retraite des forces de la "République populaire de Donetsk" au rang de lieutenant-colonel. Il a participé aux élections locales, en Crimée, à la suite de sa recommandation à la commission par la branche républicaine de Crimée des "Communistes de Russie". Ces élections ont violé la loi ukrainienne et sont par conséquent illégales. Par conséquent, Leonid Kharchenko est responsable de soutenir et de mettre en œuvre des actions et des politiques qui compromettent et menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine. | fra | fr_tresor_gels_avoir | fr-ga-6739 | |||
