General Staff announces name of Ukrainian soldier shot by Russians for saying "Glory to Ukraine"

Yesterday, footage of the shooting of a Ukrainian soldier by Russians, who said "Glory to Ukraine" before he died, went around the world.

Today, the General Staff gave a preliminary name of the deceased hero.

He turned out to be a soldier of the 30th separate mechanized brigade, Timofey Shadura.

According to preliminary data, the deceased is a soldier of the 30th separate mechanized brigade named after Prince Konstantin Ostrozhsky Nikolayevich Shadura. Shooting an unarmed prisoner is a cynical and audacious disregard for the norms of international humanitarian law and the customs of war. This is what lowly murderers do, but not soldiers. Russian occupiers have once again shown that their main goal in Ukraine is only the brutal extermination of Ukrainians.
the identity of the courageous Ukrainian soldier has been tentatively established.

However, the General Staff notes that the final confirmation of the killed man's identity must take place after special expert examinations are conducted.

The 30th separate mechanized brigade said that Timofey Shadura has been reported missing since February 3, 2023, after the hostilities near the town of Bakhmut.

The body of our serviceman is now in the temporarily occupied territory. Final confirmation of the identity will be established after the body is returned and appropriate expert examinations are conducted.
