Case summary
Person: Kazantsev, Alexander Vladimirovich Alexander Vladimirovich Kazantsev is a career officer in the Russian Airborne Forces. Serving as the commander of the 119th Guards Airborne Regiment (Military Unit 54046), which is part of the 106th Guards Airborne Division, he took direct part in Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
His unit was deployed to various combat sectors, including the initial stages of the invasion and subsequent operations in eastern and southern Ukraine. Under his command, the regiment participated in offensive and defensive operations while suffering significant casualties.
Under Kazantsev’s command, the 119th Guards Airborne Regiment participated in operations characterized by high losses of personnel and equipment, which indicates ineffective planning and execution of combat operations. During the invasion of Ukraine, units of the 106th Airborne Division, including the 119th Regiment, were repeatedly encircled and suffered heavy casualties as a result of "meat assaults" and tactical errors. There is abundant evidence of the Russian Airborne Forces' involvement in war crimes, including indiscriminate shelling of civilian objects and populated areas, which is a direct consequence of the orders and actions of commanders such as Kazantsev.
