CORRECTION - Earlier today, I tweeted unverified info about Denis Kireev who was killed by SBU as a Rus. spy. It's not true. That tweet deleted. Instead, the Intel. Dep. of Ukr. MoD confirmed that he was their serviceman and died with 2 comrades while on duty. [Thread⬇️]
[2] Together with Mr. Kireev, the Intel. Dept. of #Ukraine MoD confirmed death of Hero of Ukraine, Major Valeryi Chibineev, 34. Also, the Berdiansk city council FB-page said that he died defending the Gostomel airport near #Kyiv.
[3] The third comrade of Mr. Kireev, whose death had been also confirmed by the Intel. Dept. of Ukr. MoD, is a serviceman Olexiy Dolia.
The #Ukraine Intel. released via MP Goncharenko the classified Feb 26 order by the deputy Russian defense minister A. Kryvoruchko. He ordered to burry dead Rus. soldiers in mass graves (incl. in Belarus) or burn their bodies. [Translation below⬇️]

[2] A Rus. soldier calls his mom: “Hello. So, what do you know? – Vania, if we get you out of #Ukraine, you’ll be tried for treason & jailed for 20 years or for life. – WTF! – Gertsen, the commander of your regiment told me: “You’ll not see him. He’ll get from 20 years to life.”
