The commander of the Donetsk People's Republic's Somali battalion, Mikhail Tolstykh, famous as Givi, has been killed in a terrorist attack in Donetsk, the Ministry of Defense of the DPR has reported.
"Regrettably, we can confirm this fact," the DPR's military spokesman, Eduard Basurin, has told journalists.
The terrorist attack took place at around 6:00 A.M.
Givi was reportedly killed in his office by a Shmel flamethrower. "The death of this man was beneficial to Ukrainian special forces," the DPR command commented.
Employees of the Ministry for Emergency Situations are working at the scene.
Comment: Inessa Sinchougova's
tribute to a hero of the Donbass:
Since the start of the Ukrainian conflict in 2014, commanders Givi and Motorola, both of whom have now perished at the hands of the Kiev junta, have been defending the Donbass region from the Ukrainian army, the far-Right Ukro-fascists, paid mercenaries, and their Washington-based founders.
Throughout the conflict, Western media portrayed them as rebels and separatists, despite the fact they were defending their own land.
After the murder of Motorola, Givi recorded the following message - clearly spoken in mourning for his friend. It is with great sadness to have to report that Givi did not live to see a peaceful Donbass.
That's 3 top rebels fighters assassinated 2 months. Assuming Kiev was behind this, and the CIA through them, is this provocation intended to rile the Donbass militias and provoke them into re-engaging with the fascist Ukie horde?
