Head of Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU)

— Australian Sanctions Consolidated List, 2023-04-20

compte tenu du poste à responsabilités qu'il occupait en tant que premier adjoint du chef du GRU (alias le GU) au moment considéré, il est responsable de la détention, du transport et de l'utilisation à Salisbury, au cours du week- end du 4 mars 2018, de l'agent neurotoxique “Novitchok” par des agents du GRU

— French Freezing of Assets, 2023-04-20

Igor Kostyukov est actuellement le chef de la direction générale du renseignement de l’état-major des forces armées de la Fédération de Russie (GU/GRU), dont il a précédemment été le premier chef adjoint. L’une des unités sous son commandement est le 85e Centre principal des services spéciaux (GTsSS), également appelé unité militaire 26165 (alias techniques: “APT28”, “Fancy Bear”, “Sofacy Group”, “Pawn Storm” et “Strontium”). À ce titre, Igor Kostyukov est responsable des cyberattaques menées par le GTsSS, y compris de celles ayant des effets importants qui constituent une menace extérieure pour l’Union ou ses États membres. En particulier, des membres du renseignement militaire du GTsSS ont participé à la cyberattaque contre le parlement fédéral allemand (“Deutscher Bundestag”) qui s’est déroulée en avril et mai 2015 et à la tentative de cyberattaque, qui visait le piratage du réseau WiFi de l’Organisation pour l’interdiction des armes chimiques (OIAC) aux Pays-Bas en avril 2018. La cyberattaque contre le parlement fédéral allemand a ciblé le système d’information du parlement et en a perturbé le fonctionnement pendant plusieurs jours. Une importante quantité de données a été volée et les comptes de courrier électronique de plusieurs parlementaires, ainsi que de la chancelière Angela Merkel, ont été affectés.
