The identity of the Ukrainian prisoner of war, exponentially shot by the Russians after his words “Glory to Ukraine!”, has been established.
Relatives recognized him, but they ask that the name of the victim not be revealed yet.
This was first reported on the social network on March 7 by BBC journalist Sofia Kochmar-Tymoshenko.
Six family members are sure that this is their brother and son. I was already on my way to them, but my sister says: “Mom is very sick, please be quiet.” I respect their right. And I also help the press officers and commanders in every possible way to find him. Because, in my opinion, right now it is the right of the special services and the Armed Forces of Ukraine to find out the truth and say what is possible. The next test is to find the location and the body,” Kochmar wrote on her Facebook page.
The command of the ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine named the name of the soldier whom the Russians shot on video. This is a soldier of the 30th separate mechanized brigade Timofey Nikolaevich Shadura. He has been considered missing since February 3, 2023 after fighting in the Bakhmut area. His identity will be confirmed once the body is returned.
Today, the Ministry of Defense called on users of social networks and the media to adhere to ethics in relation to family members of the dead Ukrainian soldiers. Deputy Minister Anna Malyar wrote about this against the backdrop of numerous reports that the identity of a Ukrainian soldier shot by Russian freaks has been identified.
On the evening of March 6, the Servant of the People party in power announced that it would petition for the title of Hero of Ukraine to be awarded to the executed soldier.
