While serving as commander of a platoon – commander of a combat vehicle of the 234th Airborne Assault Regiment of the 76th Airborne Assault Division of the Airborne Forces of the russian federation, he exercised direct command over the personnel of the unit and controlled the combat vehicle, personally participating 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 the use of weapons against civilians, ill-treatment, illegal detentions and participation in punitive measures.

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.
