Abrinov Sapar Sultansiekovich

Abrinov Sapar Sultansiekovich — Senior Lieutenant, Commander of a Missile Battalion — military unit 35535 — 448th Missile Brigade of the 20th Combined Arms Army of the Western Military District of the Russian Armed Forces.

According to open registries, while serving as commander of a missile battalion of the 448th Missile Brigade of the 20th Combined Arms Army of the Western Military District of the Russian Ground Forces, he directly commanded the unit, organized combat duty, and managed the delivery of missile strikes using Iskander-M operational-tactical missile systems.

There are reasonable grounds to believe that this individual is involved in organizing and directly executing criminal orders for ballistic missile strikes on densely populated cities, energy, and civilian infrastructure facilities that are not military targets.

These actions led to mass casualties among the civilian population and large-scale destruction, constituting a component of the Russian Federation's aggressive war against Ukraine and simultaneously containing signs of violations of the laws and customs of war.

Furthermore, the individual did not exercise the right to refuse to carry out a clearly criminal order, the obligation not to execute which is stipulated by international law, thereby becoming an accomplice to the crime.
