Chervinsky’s bail was paid by Petro Poroshenko, the politician wrote earlier on his Facebook page.
Intelligence officer Roman Chervinsky is on trial for abuse of office when he tried to poach a Russian pilot and his plane in 2022.
After an unsuccessful attempt, the Kanatovo airfield was shelled, where two fighters were destroyed and the commander of the military unit was killed.
History of the issue
In April 2023, the SBU accused former GUR officer Roman Chervinsky (he was one of the organizers of the operation to detain Russian militants from the Wagner PIK) of an unauthorized failed operation to recruit a Russian pilot, which led to the shelling of the Kanatovo airfield in Kirovo.
According to the information of the press secretary of the Security Service of Ukraine, Artem Dekhtyarenko, Chervinsky acted despite the Security Service’s denial of conducting this operation and without the consent of the relevant state bodies. As a result, the Russian special services received information about the deployment of Ukrainian Air Force personnel and Ukrainian aircraft at the Kanatovo airfield. This allowed the Russian army to fire on the airfield. The prescribed punishment is imprisonment for a term of eight to 12 years.
The hearings on the case in Kropyvnytskyi have been ongoing since April 12. Before that, almost a year ago – in Kyiv.
Roman Chervinsky calls the case against himself a political order. He believes it is revenge for the disclosure in 2021 of information about treason at the level of the Presidential Office and the disruption of a special operation against Russian mercenaries of the private military company Wagner. The charges against him are considered falsified. He says the special operation was coordinated.
