While serving as commander of the 44th Separate Special Purpose Long-Range Aviation Regiment of the russian air force, he exercised direct command over an aviation regiment armed with Kh-47M2 Kinjal aeroballistic missile carriers (MiG-31K), which are systematically used to launch missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine. There are reasonable grounds to believe that this person was involved in giving criminal orders to crews to launch aeroballistic missiles from the ‘Kinzhal’ aviation missile complex at densely populated cities, critical infrastructure facilities and residential buildings that are not military targets, resulting in mass civilian casualties and widespread 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 an accomplice to the crime.
