What is known about the Russian general
Seliverstov, who previously commanded the 106th Airborne Division of the Russian Federation, led the operation to try to capture Kyiv from the northwest at the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
According to the plan of the Russian troops, on February 24, 2022, paratrooper units under his command were to establish control over the airfield in Gostomel, which was to be the beginning of the occupation of the city. Other units of the division were to take control of the town of Vyshneve.
The goal was to create a bridgehead for a further attack on the capital of Ukraine. However, Ukrainian defenders destroyed these plans, destroying a significant part of Seliverstov's troops in the battles for Gostomel.
In the course of the fighting, the defenders also liquidated the headquarters of the occupiers in the Buchan district, where the general himself was stationed together with the command staff of the division. Seliverstov and his deputies were seriously wounded, after which a decision was made to retreat.
The general was charged in absentia under Part 2 of Art. 28 and Part 2 of Art. 437 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (waging an aggressive war based on a prior conspiracy by a group of persons).
