In addition, the case itself is voluminous, including at least 169 volumes and 5 defendants, whose interests are represented by a group of lawyers.
It should be noted that the case involves 5 employees of the Special Aviation Detachment of the Operational and Rescue Service of Civil Protection (ORSCZ) of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine from the city of Nizhyn, Chernihiv Region.
Four of them – under part 3 of Art. 276 of the Civil Code (violation of safety rules of air transport flights, which caused the death of people). It:

- Volodymyr Leonov — v. at. commander of a special aviation unit;
- Oleg Ivanov — deputy commander for flight training;
- Andriy Dvornyk is the commander of a special helicopter squadron.
The head of the flight security service of the same unit, Yan Koshman, is charged with official negligence, which caused serious consequences (Part 2 of Article 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The investigation into the plane crash, conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation and the Security Service of Ukraine, ended in November 2023. The case was referred to the court in August 2024.
