Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] Colonel Vadim Sukharevsky, who in 2014 gave the order to open fire against an armed detachment in the Donbass, was appointed by the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky as deputy commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky. This was reported by Hromadske Television. Sukharevsky, known under the call sign Barsuk, on April 13, 2014 led the 3rd company of the 80th Airmobile Brigade in the vicinity of Slavyansk, near the village of Semyonovka. After the capture of the police station in Slavyansk by Igor Strelkov's (AKA Igor Girkin Girkin) detachment, Sukharevsky was ordered not to open fire. This decision was due to fears of a repeat of the events at Euromaidan, where police officers were arrested after the shooting. But SBU special forces and paratroopers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were attacked by supporters of secession from Ukraine. Sukharevsky gave the order to intervene. At his command, the Ukrainian military moved forward in an armored personnel carrier, Sukharevsky sat in the gunner’s place so that all responsibility for this decision would rest with him. “I decided to open lethal fire myself,” Badger previously told the media. Subsequently, his actions that day were assessed as an act of heroism, and in June 2022 he was awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine. In his new position, Sukharevsky will be responsible for drones and the development of the use of drones in the Kyiv army. As Regnum reported, the commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, may undertake operations that are extremely dangerous for the state of the Ukrainian army in order to curry favor with Zelensky. In particular, for media victories. So says former Deputy Minister for Temporarily Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine Georgy Tuka. Alexander Syrsky is known in the ranks of the Ukrainian army as a commander who does not take losses into account; another “meat grinder” organized by him cannot be ruled out, said the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.
