According to the Russian investigation, in October and November 2024, Zagrablennyi, Hryhoriev, Bakalov, Petrechenko, Grabina, and Rukavitsa, armed with automatic weapons, machine guns, and grenades, on infantry fighting vehicles "Kozak" as part of Ukrainian Armed Forces units, illegally invaded the territory of the Russian Federation.

On June 26, 2025, the 2nd Western Military District Court found the defendants guilty and sentenced Oleksandr Zagrablennyi and Oleksandr Hryhoriev to 15 years and Andrii Bakalov to 16 years of imprisonment. The first 3 years they will spend in prison, the remaining years in a strict regime penal colony. The verdict was not appealed and entered into legal force.
