We are talking about the platoon commander of the 3rd parachute company of the 1st battalion tactical group of the 234th airborne assault regiment of the 76th airborne assault division of the Russian Airborne Forces.
"In March 2022, the platoon commander, along with other Russian Armed Forces servicemen, while patrolling the streets of Bucha, noticed a local resident walking to his home. Without any warning, they opened fire with assault rifles in the direction of the man. The victim managed to run to the territory of the nearest household and hid in the house.

The platoon commander approached the man, who was lying on the floor without signs of life, kicked him and concluded that the victim was dead. However, the victim sustained moderate injuries and survived," they said.

He is currently being served a notice of suspicion of completed attempted violation of the laws and customs of war, combined with intentional murder (Part 2 of Article 15, Part 2 of Article 438).
