In an unprecedented move, the U.S. has charged four soldiers affiliated with Russia with war crimes against an American citizen during the invasion of Ukraine. The charges were announced by the U.S. Justice Department and mark the first-ever application of the U.S. war crimes statute.

The four men, identified as Suren Seiranovich Mkrtchyan, Dmitry Budnik, Valerii, and Nazar, are accused of abducting, beating, and torturing the American citizen, who was held captive for 10 days. The indictment includes allegations of torture, inhuman treatment, conspiracy to commit war crimes, and unlawful treatment of an American citizen.

The charges are significant as they represent the first time the U.S. has formally charged war crimes in relation to the conflict in Ukraine. The U.S. Department of Justice has not provided further details on the case at this time.
