HSI Washington, D.C. investigation leads to war crimes charges for 4 individuals affiliated with the Russian military
WASHINGTON – Four Russia-affiliated military personnel have been charged with war crimes following an investigation conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Washington D.C. field office, FBI’s Washington, D.C. field office, HSI’s Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center, and FBI’s International Human Rights Unit. The charges, which are the first to be filed against Russia-affiliated personnel following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, were unsealed Dec. 6, at the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building in Washington, D.C.

Russia-affiliated individuals Suren Seiranovich Mkrtchyan, Dmitry Budnik, Valerii LNU (last name unknown), and Nazar LNU were each charged with unlawfully detaining a U.S. national in the context of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The alleged perpetrators are accused of interrogating, severely beating and torturing the victim. They also allegedly threatened to kill the victim and conducted a mock execution.
