According to the DIU, Nagayko was directly involved in a full-scale war against Ukraine. Moreover, he was involved in strikes with Iskander ballistic missiles against civilian and military targets in Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
“In particular, Nagayko's unit committed a war crime in the village of Hroza, Kupiansk district, on October 5, 2023, when it launched a missile attack on a cafe during a wake. It killed 59 civilian Ukrainians, including an eight-year-old boy,” the intelligence underlined.
As a result of the explosion that occurred in his military unit, Nagayko received multiple shrapnel wounds, including to the brain, which required a skull trepanation. The 29-year-old officer's condition is critical, and the Russian missile brigade believes that he has almost no chance of survival.
