The Security Service of Ukraine had named the Russian military involved in a missile strike on a high-rise building in the Dnipro.

The SSU press service reported about this.

They note that the matter refers to the soldiers of the 52nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment (Kaluga region, the village of Shaikovka).

It is emphasized that several dozen servicemen were involved in the missile attack and named six of them:

• Colonel Timoshin Oleg Evgenievich, 21.06.1971 year of birth, Commander of the 52nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment (military unit #33310);
• Major Ivanenko Alexei Sergeevich, 08.02.1987 year of birth, Commander of the Aviation Detachment of the 52nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment;
• Golenkov Dmitry, 01.09.1978 year of birth, chief of staff of the aviation squadron of the aviation group;
• Grigoriev Denis Anatolyevich, 07.06.1982 year of birth, navigator of the 52nd heavy bomber aviation regiment;
• Nazirov Dinar, born 03.07.1985, navigator of the 52nd heavy bomber aviation regiment;
• Pokeluev Evgeny, born in 16.06.1980, Weapon Systems Officer of the 52nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment.

On the fact of the crime, the Security Service of Ukraine began criminal proceedings under Art. 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Violation of laws and customs of war).

Having examined the scene, the SSU also confirmed that the occupiers still used a Kh-22 cruise missile.

Currently, investigative actions are ongoing to bring the responsible parties to justice.

“Every war crime of Russians has a specific performer. The Security Service will establish and release the data of everyone by name, so that no murderer escapes punishment. Let each of those who press “start,” who are involved in such crimes, wait every minute for retribution. The time will definitely come. The special service has already collected a huge amount of evidence for international courts, and every day of the war expands and complements it,” said Vasyl Malyuk, Head of the SSU.

At the same time, the OSINT community Molfar identified 44 Russians involved in the missile strike.

The goal of Molfar is to identify the crew commanders of strategic bombers that launched missiles and pilots who were at the controls at the time of launch.

OSINT researchers identified technical personnel of the 52nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment of the Russian Army and its headquarter staff. They also identified persons who participated in the celebration of solemn events and were present in joint photos as alleged former military or reservists.
