On March 16, the court of Chernigov heard the case of Russian pilot Alexander Krasnoyartsev. He ejected from the plane and killed a civilian.

The case was heard in the Novozavodsk District Court of Chernihiv. Alexander Krasnoyartsev is accused of violating the law because of the murder of a civilian man with a service pistol.

The accused was not in the hall, since he is no longer in Ukraine. The prosecutor asked the court to postpone the consideration of the case in order to properly notify the accused of the date and time of the next hearing. This is provided by law, so the court agreed to adjourn the hearing until April 17.
