UPDATE BY LYUDMILA BENTLEY FROM JULY 8TH, 2026 (2/3)

I wrote my objections to the appeal of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation on July 1, 2026, and submitted them to the (lower) court. Yesterday I called them to find out when another appeal hearing, (this time) regarding the appeal of the Ministry of Defence would be held, and they declared to me that the paperwork was not sent to the Court of Appeals, because the Donetsk Garrison Military Court received a request to send Vansyatsky, Agaltsev and Iordanov to the Special Military Operation, and the court rendered a decision to suspend the criminal case!!!!!!!! How (is it possible), when my lawyer and I heard with our own ears the words of the judge on June 9, that the verdict was taking effect?!!! What SMO, when they, invested with the power of weapons, beat to death a bound civilian with a bag on his head, which they also jumped on? What SMO, when the Ministry of Defence supplied a drone operator with a TNT stick, and he handed it to Vansyatsky, and then he and Agaltsev blew up Russell's body instead of handing it over to me so I could say goodbye and bury him properly?

What SMO, when the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation supplied them with machine guns and they, being military officers, fired (into the ground) right next to the head of an absolutely innocent man lying on the ground?! They are criminals who, according to the verdict that went into effect on June 9, must be punished according to the punishment that was announced for each of them..

I have learned that the request to send them to the SMO was sent from an enlistment eligibility center. My understanding is that this is the MOD's plan - to take them (back to service), and, respectively, to suspend the case (although, how can it be suspended if the verdict was to take effect?); not to give me Russell's belongings, including his documents from back in 2014, when he was in the militia, as well as his accreditation, his military ID, and all other documents that he had on him on April 8th, (2024), his diver’s watch, his small icon, my photo next to his mom's photo; not to give me the writ of execution, and, in doing all of this, to drive me to the grave after this years-long torture.
