According to preliminary data, it was a soldier of the 30th separate mechanized brigade. The General Staff promised that the death of a Ukrainian soldier would not go unpunished.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine named the name of a prisoner of war who was shot by Russian soldiers for the phrase “Glory to Ukraine.” According to preliminary data, it was a soldier of the 30th separate mechanized brigade named after Prince Konstantin Ostrozhsky Shadura Timofey Nikolaevich. About it told in the press service of the brigade.
It is reported that a fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been considered missing since February 3 after fighting in the Bakhmut area of the Donetsk region.
At the moment, the body of the deceased soldier is in the occupied territory. The final confirmation of his identity will be established after he is returned to the controlled part of Ukraine and an examination is carried out.
“The command of the 30th separate mechanized brigade and the brothers of the Hero express their sincere condolences to his family and friends. Revenge will be inevitable,” the message says.
At the same time, in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine declaredthat the execution of an unarmed prisoner of war is a cynical and daring disregard for the norms of international humanitarian law and the customs of war.
“This is what insignificant killers do, but not warriors. The Russian occupiers have once again shown that their main goal in Ukraine is only the brutal extermination of Ukrainians,” the command says.
The department also said that the death of a Ukrainian soldier will not go unpunished.
“But we will do it in a legal and fair way – on the battlefield, in court or in an international tribunal. With a cool head, in compliance with the rules of war and with honor, we will definitely avenge everyone,” the General Staff promised.
Recall, on March 6, it became known that the Russian military filmed how a Ukrainian prisoner of war was shot for the words “Glory to Ukraine.” According to the head of the OP Yermak, this is an example of “national worthlessness and weakness” of the Russians. Zelensky was promised that the military involved in this would be punished.
On March 7, journalist Sofia Kochmar-Tymoshenko said that she had found the sister of the deceased, but did not reveal her identity. The family of the Ukrainian military asked for “silence”. Another journalist, Vasily Krutchak, said that Timofey Shadura could be the killed fighter.
