Gerasimov Andrey Vladimirovich

Andrei Vladimirovich Gerasimov — Major, Commander of an aviation squadron (on Tu-95MS) — military unit 85927 — 121st Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division of Long-Range Aviation of the Air Force of the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Armed Forces.

According to open registries, while serving as commander of an aviation squadron (on Tu-95MS aircraft) of the 121st Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division of Long-Range Aviation of the Air Force of the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, he exercised direct command of the unit and personally participated in combat sorties.

There are reasonable grounds to believe that this individual is involved in organizing and directly executing criminal orders for the launch of air-launched cruise missiles during massive attacks on critical energy infrastructure facilities in Ukraine.

These actions aimed at the deliberate destruction of the civilian population's life support system, which led to disruptions in heat and electricity supply, the creation of a humanitarian crisis, and a threat to the lives of civilians.

These actions are an integral part of Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine and simultaneously contain 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 a direct perpetrator and accomplice to the crime.
