[Korrespondent] The leak of information about the gathering of military personnel in Gulyaipole turned into a tragedy, believes communications expert Sergei Beskrestnov (Flash).
The command staff of the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade with the honorific "General-Colonel Mark Bezruchko" died on July 1 in the area of operations. According to the evening address of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, the Russian strike hit Gulyaipole. How the enemy learned the exact coordinates for the attack - further in the story.

BALLISTIC STRIKE
On the morning of July 1, Russian invading forces fired two Iskander ballistic missiles at Hulyaipole in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The town is located about 70 kilometers from the front line.
As a result, Colonel Sergei Zakharevich, commander of the 110th brigade, deputy brigade commander Dmitry Romanyuk, brigade chief of staff Valery Mirzayev and other brigade officers were killed. More than 30 people were also injured.
The General Staff has confirmed Zakharevich's death, and a full investigation into the circumstances of the strike is currently ongoing.
"Our army has lost another representative of the new generation of Ukrainian officers, who grew up in battle and became a model of courage and proactive military leadership," the General Staff said in an official statement.
WHO IS SERGEY ZAKHAREVICH?
Serhiy Zakharevich was a colonel in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He graduated from the Odessa Institute of Ground Forces and began serving in the reconnaissance company of the 30th Mechanized Brigade.
In 2010, he was appointed commander of the reconnaissance company of the 1st Tank Brigade. After the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, he became deputy commander of the 33rd Mechanized Brigade, and in February 2025, he was appointed commander of the 110th Mechanized Brigade.
INFORMATION LEAK TURNS INTO TRAGEDY
The command of the 110th Brigade could have been killed by an Iskander strike on a military gathering due to information leaking from a messenger, communications expert Sergei Beskrestnov (Flash) reported today.
"The problem is that this event was discussed in advance in a group with several hundred participants. How the information got to the enemy is no longer of much importance, maybe it was a virus, maybe someone told the wrong person, maybe someone lost their phone," the expert wrote.
According to him, after this incident, the command began writing orders banning communication in messengers, but the expert considers such restrictions ineffective, since "horizontal communications cannot be cancelled by any orders, they are effective."
