Ukraine charges CEO of Russia’s missile and bomb producer

That’s according to the SBU press office, Ukrinform reports.

The official is part of Vladimir Putin's entourage. He heads Russia's largest producer cruise missiles and guided aerial bombs, which has fallen under international sanctions.

The corporation systemically delivers the relevant weapons in major batches to the Russian invasion forces.

Since the outset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has carried out over 140 strikes targeting Ukraine’s civil and energy infrastructure, using Kh-101 and Kh-555 cruise missiles.

For mass shelling of Ukrainian settlements, the Russians also use other weapons produced by the corporation led by Obnosov, including:

P-800 Onyx, Kh-22, Kh-32, and Kh-59 missiles;

KAB-500 and KAB-1500 guided aerial bombs.

It was established that a few months prior to the invasion, the official was awarded the title of Hero of Russia for his participation in the preparation for the incursion.

Based on the evidence collected, the SBU pressed charges in absentia against the suspect for assistance in waging a war of aggression).

Work is underway to bring the perpetrator to justice and put him on the international wanted list.

In addition, law enforcement is focused on detecting, immobilizing, and seizing the culprit’s assets beyond Russia’s border.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the SBU pressed charges against a Russian blogger, Elvina Borovkova, who publicly called for “hunting down the survivors” of the Russian strike on Kharkiv.
