Girkin, a self-described Russian nationalist and imperialist, participant of several other conflicts, was charged by Ukraine authorities with terrorism and is currently sanctioned by the European Union for his leading role in the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian authorities have called him a retired colonel of the GRU (Russia's external military intelligence organisation).
