While serving as commander of a self-propelled artillery battery of the assault battalion of the 234th assault regiment of the 76th assault division of the russian airborne forces, he exercised direct command of the artillery crew and fire control, taking personal part in combat operations on the territory of Ukraine. There are reasonable grounds to believe that the person is involved in the execution of criminal orders to carry out artillery shelling of populated areas, residential quarters and civilian infrastructure facilities that are not military targets.

These actions led to destruction and casualties among the civilian population, in particular during the occupation of territories in the Kyiv oblast. 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 an accomplice to the crime.

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