The Butcher of Bucha

Unit: 64th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, 35th Combined Arms Army, Western Military District

Given the above facts, on April 21, the UK Government added Lieutenant Colonel Azatbek Omurbekov to the list of individuals subject to personal sanctions for war crimes in Bucha.
On April 22, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation issued a report which reconfirmed Omurbekov’s direct involvement in the hostilities in Ukraine. The publication also mentioned that he was awarded the next rank of colonel, and his brigade was given the honorary status of “Guards” by personal order of Vladimir Putin. Thus, the Russian military command confirmed that Omurbekov was in command of the brigade and abetted the war crimes committed by his subordinates in the Kyiv Oblast.
