Vitaly Savelyev is Deputy Prime Minister of Russia for Transport, previously having held the position of Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Russian Railways, appointed to that position by the Government of the Russian Federation, and is currently also the chairman of the Board. He is the former CEO of Aeroflot. In October 2021, Russia started an unprecedented military build-up on or near the Ukrainian border and within Ukraine’s occupied Crimea region. Russian Armed Forces conducted mass-scale military exercises there. This led to the escalation of the conflict and put destabilising pressure on Ukraine. Both military personnel and military equipment of the Russian Armed Forces were transported to the areas near the Ukrainian border by the Russian Railways, of which Mr Savelyev is a member of the Board of Directors. Aeroflot under Mr Savelyev’s leadership provided regular passenger air transportation between Russian airports and Simferopol international airport, and therefore supported the consolidation of the illegally annexed Crimean peninsula into the Russian Federation, which in turn further undermined the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Therefore, he is responsible for actively supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine.
