From March 18 to November 10, 2022, the 205th separate motorized rifle Cossack brigade of the Russian Federation controlled the village of Novopetrivka, Bashtanka district, Mykolaiv region. The occupiers used local property, raided houses, intimidated civilians and threatened to kill them, apparently looking for people who were stealing their weapons and ammunition.

At the time of these events, Arsien Mamedov was a driver-mechanic of the 1st department, 2nd reconnaissance platoon, reconnaissance company, 205th separate motorized rifle Cossack brigade. It is known that he has the call sign «Ashab».

On October 12, 2022, in the afternoon, Arsien Mamedov entered the yard of a private house and forced the owner to go to the neighboring yard. There, the soldiers dragged the man into the utility room and Arsien Mamedov beat him.

That same day, after lunch, Arsien Mamedov and other soldiers arrived at another house and met a local resident at the gate. One of the soldiers was indignant that this man was standing there and hit him on the torso. The victim staggered and expressed his displeasure. Hearing this, Arsien Mamedov came up and hit the man with both hands in the chest so that he fell and hit the metal gate. Arsien Mamedov kicked the lying man on the head and torso several more times.

On the same day, Arsien Mamedov and his friends were driving a VAZ car along Sadova Street in the village of Novopetrivka. A man was walking along the road at that time. The Russians stopped and Arsien Mamedov ordered the peasant to enter the house opposite, where a local woman lived. In the yard, Arsien Mamedov beat the detainee on the head with his fist and a piece of tile, and also ordered another soldier to shoot the victim in the leg, in connection with which he asked him to have mercy.

Then the man was forced to climb into the trunk of the VAZ. In the trunk of the car, Arsien Mamedov brought the victim to another household. Arsien Mamedov simulated cutting off the man's fingers, and then forced him to change into a woman's skirt and blouse found in the house. At the same time, he threatened the hostage with sexual violence.

Having changed into women's clothes, the victim was again placed in the trunk. In addition, Arsien Mamedov put a bag on his head. Already in another building, in the presence of other soldiers, Arsien Mamedov verbally mocked the hostage in women's clothes and with a bag on his head, humiliating his sexuality and threatening that he would be raped by other Russian soldiers.

After some time, the Russians again placed the hostage in the trunk and transported him to another house in the same village. There, the victim was ordered to change into his clothes. Then Arsien Mamedov hit him twice with his head against the metal gate and, threatening him with a machine gun, ordered him to go to the doghouse. The man climbed into the hut and stayed there with the dog, while Arsien Mamedov turned the hut upside down and left the yard in an unknown direction.

In March of this year, Arsien Mamedov was already accused of cruelty to the civilian population. In addition to him, military personnel Dzhabrail Yusupov with the call sign «Gabriel» and two others with the call signs «Almaz» and «Kaha» took part in the abductions and tortures.

It will be recalled that since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, prosecutors have documented 122,318 Russian war crimes.
