In 2015-2016, he served in the Bryansk region (np Pochep-2), in the zone of deployment of units of the Western Military District of the Russian Federation. Since 2016, he has been transferred to Belgorod Region, where he lives in the town of Valuiki.

As of 2020, he held the position of chief of service of the regiment in the specialty of RHBZ (radiation, chemical and biological protection). In the contacts of his coworkers he appeared under the designations “Nachkhim”, “Head of the regiment’s RCDZ”, “NS RCDZ MSP”. His military rank was captain, later major.
Since February 2022, v/h #34670 has been involved in combat operations against Ukraine. The Valuyskiy district of Belgorod region was used as a staging area for operations in the Kharkiv direction. As head of the regiment’s RHBZ service, Bobryshev was responsible for providing the unit with protective equipment, camouflage and actions under conditions of special means.

Vitaly Bobryshev’s war crimes
As of 2022-2025, v/h #34670, stationed in Valuiki, Belgorod region, is involved in combat operations against Ukraine. The Valuisky district directly borders Kharkiv Oblast, and the unit was used as an element of the grouping on the Kharkiv direction, one of the directions with the highest number of documented war crimes against civilians, including strikes on residential infrastructure, hospitals, and power supply facilities.
As chief of the regiment’s RCDZ service, Bobryshev has direct functional responsibility for the use of chemicals in the combat zone. RCDS specialists ensure the use of smoke screens, thermobaric and potentially chemical weapons – means whose use against civilians qualifies as a war crime under international humanitarian law.

According to information that circulated on the Internet, the 488th Msp received and carried out orders to shoot all civilians over 12 and under 80 years of age.
