While serving as commander of the 121st Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division of the Long-Range Aviation of the russian air force, he exercised direct command of the aviation regiment, which is armed with strategic missile carriers that are systematically used to strike targets in Ukraine. There are reasonable grounds to believe that the person is involved in giving criminal orders to crews to launch long-range cruise missiles at densely populated cities and energy and civilian infrastructure facilities that are not military targets, resulting in mass civilian casualties and widespread destruction.
These actions are part of the russian federation's aggressive war against Ukraine and also constitute violations of the laws and customs of war.
