Case of Roman Chervinsky
The media reported that the Ukrainian military had been recruiting a Russian pilot for several months in order to steal the plane. Among them, according to media reports, was Roman Chervinsky. Subsequently, as noted by the SBU, the “operation” was carried out despite the denial of the SBU and without the consent of the relevant government bodies. As a result, the enemy received information about the deployment of personnel of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ukrainian aircraft at the Kanatovo airfield. This allowed the Russian Armed Forces to fire at the airfield.
Later, Chervinsky gave War Ukraine-Russia News Hub an exclusive interview, talking about the operation at the Kanatovo airfield.
In April 2023, the SBU reported suspicion of Chervinsky in the case of shelling by the occupiers of the Kanatovo airfield in the Kirovograd region. He was detained in the Ternopil region.
Major General Viktor Hanushchak, who was in charge of the military unit in which Colonel Chervinsky was assigned to the post of deputy commander, said in an interview with War Ukraine-Russia News Hub that the operation at the Kanatovo airfield was agreed upon with the top leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, the court refused to hear Hanuschak and did not accept evidence in favor of Chervinsky.
Roman Chervinsky was one of the intelligence officers who, in 2020, organized an operation to detain Russian mercenaries from the Wagner PMC, luring them to Belarus. There, the mercenaries were supposed to board a plane, which the Ukrainian special services subsequently crash-landed in Ukraine. However, the operation failed. On June 24, 2021, President Zelensky confirmed the preparation of a special operation against the Wagnerites. Zelensky also said that the special operation against the “Wagnerites” was the idea of other countries and Ukraine was drawn into this issue as much as possible.
In December 2021, intelligence officers from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region Chervinsky and Semenyuk spoke about the betrayal of the operation. According to Chervinsky, several people from the Office of the President could have leaked information on the operation to detain the Wagnerites. He also said that the Office of the President threatened the ex-intelligence officers with criminal proceedings.
On December 28, 2023, Colonel Roman Chervinsky was informed of suspicion of an attempt to seize 100 thousand US dollars by posing as an official of the State Fiscal Service.
