Gavrilchenko Sergei Andreevich

Gavrilchenko Sergei Andreevich is a Captain 3rd Rank, commander — military unit 52994 — frigate "Admiral Makarov" of the 30th Division of Surface Ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy.

According to open registries, while serving as commander of the frigate "Admiral Makarov" of the 30th Division of Surface Ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy, and also previously holding positions as commander of the patrol ship "Ladny" and senior assistant commander of the frigate "Admiral Grigorovich", he directly commanded the crews of the ships, and also assisted the commander in managing the crew during his previous position, planning, organizing, and directing their combat deployment.

There are reasonable grounds to believe that this individual is involved in the organization, leadership, and direct execution of criminal orders for conducting naval combat operations and carrying out missile strikes (particularly with sea-based cruise missiles) from ships against densely populated cities, energy, and civilian infrastructure objects that are not military targets.

These actions led to mass civilian casualties and large-scale destruction, being an integral part of Russia'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 norms of international law, thereby becoming an accomplice to the crime.
