While serving as commander of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division of the Long-Range Aviation of the russian air force, he exercised direct command over an aviation unit whose aircraft are systematically involved in missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine. There are reasonable grounds to believe that the person is involved in giving criminal orders to crews to launch supersonic cruise missiles at densely populated cities, residential buildings, and civilian infrastructure 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.
