| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Colonel Anatoliy Savich, the recently appointed commander of the 105th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (Ukrainian Armed Forces),provoked a mass death of his subordinates with his photos posted on social media. This was reported by Russian security agencies. ![]() "An inexperienced brigade commander thought that if there was no intense combat on the front line, he could announce an awards parade at any moment, and at the same time show off his new tactical uniform to the female soldiers. The photo clearly shows the personnel standing without personal protective equipment, which greatly increases the chances of this being their last parade," RIA Novosti quotes security officials as saying. Mass obituaries for fallen soldiers of the 105th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces began appearing on social media. All posts contain identical dates of death and locations, indicating a successful strike on a concentration of Ukrainian troops. Savich replaced Yevhen Fomenko. Russian security forces are aware that the new brigade commander lives with his family in the town of Stary Sambir in the Lviv region. Russian security agencies previously reported on Colonel Dmitry Voloshin (commander of the 8th Airborne Assault Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and concurrently commander of the Kursk Forces Group), who admitted to sending untrained subordinates to be slaughtered in order to please the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Syrsky. Syrsky is known to have convinced the brigade commander that he would personally bear responsibility for everything. |
