The terrorist activities of Stepan Yaroshchuk:
Yaroshchuk’s most famous war crime was the shelling of the Vostochniy Microdistrict in the city of Mariupol on January 24, 2015. Thirty-one civilians died and 117 more were wounded. Major-General Yaroshchuk was personally in charge of this “operation”, which is confirmed by Bellingcat investigation. He has been wanted by the SBU since 2018. After the name of the war criminal was declassified by journalists, he was “sent into exile” – to manage the shelling of cities in Syria.
There he distinguished himself by his brutality against civilians and his series of indiscriminate strikes against civilian infrastructure. So it’s not surprising that after that Yaroschuk was promoted. Already in 2019, he was deputy head of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the rf Ministry of Defense. And now he performs the duties of the commander of the GRAU (in/number 64716). Awarded the orders of Kutuzov and Zhukov.

Stepan Yaroshchuk’s family
The war criminal Yaroshchuk thoroughly cleaned up the data about himself from the expanses of the Internet. But online archives cherish a few important facts from his biography. So, for example, it is known that as of 2006, Major General Yaroshchuk owned an apartment in Lutsk at 3 Ladygina Street, a quarter of 46. He received his Russian passport (number 0809 835001) only on May 21, 2009. The major general drives a 2014 Toyota Prado with license plates H773EK777.
At the moment Yaroshchuk is registered at the following address. Kalininets, 25, sq. 67. This is a military settlement near Moscow, where the elite 2nd Taman Motorized Rifle Division is stationed. Yaroshchuk also listed apartment #39, building 30 in the same settlement as his place of residence. There are two people registered there, with whom the head of GRAU uses two identical mobile numbers – with a high probability they are the family of the major-general.
Svetlana Yurievna Goncharova (born on January 26, 1970, passport 6014 721286 issued on November 03, 2001). Judging by her current page on Odnoklassniki, she is the wife of a high-ranking military official. This is evidenced by her photos at governor’s balls, her vacation in the elite sanatorium of the Russian Defense Ministry in the Crimean Saki and Arkhyz resort. Goncharova’s old OK page lists Khabarovsk as her place of residence, just as Yaroshchuk was serving there.
Danila Stepanovich Goncharov (born on August 9, 2002, passport 6017 001080, issued on September 23, 2016). On his VKontakte page, he lists Rostov-on-Don as his place of residence. Danila was active in it during the years when Major General Yaroshchuk served in this city. In 2019, he graduated from School No. 1253 (Moscow). He is currently in his third year at the Military University of the Russian Ministry of Defense (prosecutor’s and investigative faculty). Goncharov also used to be quite active on Odnoklassniki and Instagram, but something forced him to delete personal data and information that could identify loved ones. Although he still has his mother’s real last name in his VK friends – Svitlana Yaroshchuk.
