Kasimov Rishat Salidarovich

Kasimov Rishat Salidarovich — Captain, Commander of the Anti-Aircraft Missile and Artillery Battery of the Missile Battalion — military unit 74148 — 64th Special Purpose Anti-Missile Defense Brigade of the 1st Special Purpose Air and Missile Defense Army of the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation.

According to open registry data, while serving as commander of the anti-aircraft missile and artillery battery of the missile battalion of the 64th Special Purpose Anti-Missile Defense Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, he directly led the unit, organized air defense cover for missile system launch positions, and controlled air defense fire.

There are reasonable grounds to believe that this individual is involved in ensuring the combat stability and protection of strike missile systems used to attack densely populated cities, energy facilities, and civilian infrastructure, which are not military targets.

These actions led to mass civilian deaths 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 fulfill which is stipulated by norms of international law, thereby becoming an accomplice to the crime.
