They were both charged with suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine,” the SBU reported.

As reported, these two representatives of the Russian High Command were charged with:
- Part 2 of Art. 437 (planning, preparation, unleashing and waging an aggressive war);

“In the course of the investigation, the SBU investigators established that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Serhii Kobylash has been following the instructions of Russia’s top military and political leadership regarding the destruction of Ukrainian cities.

“As for Ihor Osipov, according to the investigation, in the period from February 24 to August 10 of this year, the official gave orders to carry out systematic missile strikes from the waters of the Black Sea on Ukrainian densely populated areas,” the SBU reported.
Enemy attacks were carried out with high-precision guided cruise missiles “3M14-Caliber” from Russian warships.
