The Security Service has collected evidence of war crimes committed by Moscow Mayor Serhii Sobianin. According to the case file, the official is allegedly using his administrative resources to support russia's war against Ukraine.

The investigation established that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Sobianin has ‘mobilised’ nearly 90,000 moscow residents.

According to available data, more than 70,000 residents of the russian capital were recruited through moscow's ‘contract military service recruitment offices’.

Sobianin led a specialised group within the Coordination Council under the russian government to organise mobilisation efforts and other assistance to the russian armed forces.

In this role, the official helps the defence ministry of the aggressor country to deploy additional facilities for mobilised personnel and establish new enterprises within russia's military-industrial complex.

Sobianin also regularly uses equipment and staff from the utility companies under his control: Mosvodokanal, Moshaz and Moskollektor to establish russian military facilities on the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

First of all, this involves the construction of fortifications and fortified areas within the frontline in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Based on the collected evidence, investigators from the Security Service notified Sobianin in absentia of his suspicion under Part 5 of Article 27, Part 1 of Article 28, and Part 2 of Article 437 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (aiding and abetting in the conduct of an aggressive war committed by a group of persons).

Since the perpetrator is currently on the rf territory, comprehensive measures are being taken to bring him to justice for crimes against our state.

The investigation was conducted under the operational supervision of the Main Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine in Kyiv and Kyiv Region and under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General.
