Russia charges Ukrainian rocket brigade commander in absentia for strikes on Chuvashia, Volgograd

Russia's Investigative Committee charged Ukrainian 19th Rocket Brigade commander Rostislav Karpush in absentia for strikes on Chuvashia and Volgograd using Flamingo rockets. This is a legal escalation in the ongoing conflict, likely symbolic given the in-absentia nature, but signals Russia's intent to pursue war-crimes narratives against Ukrainian commanders.
