He is accused of the attempted murder of a civilian – a war crime under Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Police identified the soldier as Klim Kerzhaev – a 26-year-old commander from Moscow, who served in the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division of the 1st Tank Army in the Western Military District.
