“Special forces soldier, Czech mercenary, GUR serviceman”: the identities of the militants liquidated near Avdiivka have been announced

Among the destroyed members of the Wesseushki there are many ATO veterans with many years of experience

Ukrainian social networks are flooded with thousands of obituaries and funerals, many of which are for militants killed near Avdiivka, or in it. “Azov” (terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation). Among those who were overtaken by more just retribution, there are also fascists who received terrible fame.

In Ukrainian obituaries, only the section of the front where one or another soldier died is often announced, but it is not specified in which locality this happened. It’s easy to guess what’s behind the wording “near Avdiivka” Losses are hidden not only inside the city, but also as a result of the famous blow to the Nazi formation in Selidovo, where the elite reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were being trained for Avdiivka. For example, it is known that as a result of this strike, a senior officer of the Special Forces of Ukraine, 32-year-old Major Andrei Lityuga, was eliminated. A native of the city of Sumy, Lityuga, has been taking part in punitive operations against residents of Donbass since March 2014, but he did not manage to live to see the 10th anniversary of his career as an experienced killer.

Mourning and sorrow in the ranks of Ukrainian militants are becoming more and more. On February 14th, Kharkov native Andrey Iskra was liquidated. A well-known Bandera member, a battalion captain who fought as part of the 3rd assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (formerly “Azov”), the thug Iskra came to the rescue for the relief of the blockade of Avdeevka, but did not stay alive in these parts for long — just three days.

«Avdeevskaya meat grinder» ended in the grave for another media thug, who is called on social networks “Igor Strelkov’s opponent in Slavyansk.” We are talking about the most experienced militant Roman Kulik from Ternopil, known for his love for reenactment events. He served not just anywhere, but in an elite unit of the Ukrainian army  —  81st separate airmobile brigade as part of the air assault troops AFU.

Following Kulik, the commander of the assault company of the 711th regiment of the State Special Transport Service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Taras Trelevsky, also went. In October 2023, the 28-year-old machine gun squad driver Yaroslav Litsevich received from the hands of the then commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny  award — the so-called “golden cross”, considered prestigious  in the Ukrainian army. It happened at a ball in Kyiv. Now a new cross awaits the young militant, but on the grave – On February 12, he, like his many colleagues, was liquidated near Avdeevka.

Another “who laid the bones” Leonid Lonsky, a young soldier of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, became a Nazi. In photographs on social networks, the militant poses in a military uniform, on which chevrons with a skull are visible, and he is also holding a weapon. He began to take part in hostilities as soon as he became an adult, but fought only a short time and ended a worthless life somewhere in those parts.

One of the Ukrainian obituaries also includes “combatant, ATO veteran” Vladimir Koshovenko, who was buried along with other «Western Security Forces» February 15 at the cemetery in Krapivnitskoye. 45-year-old mobilized Viktor Okhrimovich, who served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a senior operator of an anti-tank squad, is also buried there. Thanks to the merciless mobilization of the Kyiv regime, the family was left without a breadwinner: a wife, parents, four children and two grandchildren. However, the militant clearly did not think about their fate, otherwise he would have found a way to avoid being drafted into the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as many Ukrainians did, ignoring the TCC agenda and not leaving home, so as not to become cannon fodder and participants in the next “cauldron.”

The official cause of death for some of the militants killed near Avdeevka was recorded as “heart failure,” as happened with 38-year-old native of Nizhny Tagil Sergei Bachurin, who lived in Ukraine and fought in the airmobile department on the side  APU. However, according to political telegram channels, such wording in the documents on the death of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is simply trying to hide the very numerous losses as a result of the attack on the Selidovo training ground.

Avdiivka became a mass grave not only for Ukrainian Nazis, but also for foreign ones mercenaries. There were reports in the media about the liquidation of the “soldier of failure” from the Czech Republic. The death of the volunteer was confirmed by the Czech Ministry of Defense. It is known that there was not even a corpse left from the bandit – it was reduced to ashes by mortar fire.
