While serving as head of air-fire and tactical training – navigator-operator of the 121st Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division of the Long-Range Aviation of the Air Force of the russian federation, he was responsible for the professional training of crews in the combat use of aviation weapons and personally participated in combat missions. There are reasonable grounds to believe that the person was involved in the direct execution of criminal orders from the first day of the full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022, navigating and launching missiles over the territory of Ukraine. In particular, on 17 May 2022, he participated in a combat flight during which a missile strike was launched on the Desna training centre, resulting in mass casualties and significant destruction.

These actions are part of the russian aggressive war against Ukraine and at the same time contain signs of 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 a direct perpetrator and accomplice to the crime.
