While serving as commander of the assault platoon of the 234th Assault Regiment of the 76th Assault Division of the Airborne Forces of the russian federation, he exercised direct command over the personnel of the unit and personally participated in ground combat operations on the territory of Ukraine. There are reasonable grounds to believe that the person is involved in the commission of war crimes against the civilian population during the occupation of settlements (in particular in the Kyiv region, the city of Bucha), including cruel treatment, illegal detention, torture and extrajudicial executions of civilians who did not participate in hostilities.

These actions are part of the russian aggressive war against Ukraine and at the same time contain signs of serious violations of the laws and customs of war. At the same time, the person did not exercise the right to refuse to carry out a clearly criminal order, the obligation not to carry out which is provided for by international law, thus becoming an accomplice to the crime.

The person has been charged under Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
