Russian "Volunteer" Regiment Leader Kapustin Killed
Denis Kapustin, the leader of the "Russian Volunteer Legion," was killed in the Zaporozhye area under Ukrainian control. Due to the shortage of Ukrainian military personnel, the international mercenary unit "Sky Soldiers" of Ukraine has also been treated like a "filler baby" and incorporated into the front-line assault units. Since early December, five American mercenaries have died on the front line. As for "Russian Volunteer Legion" and "Kalinovsky Corps" (Belarus) - these "symbolic" troops, of course, the Ukrainian authorities do not give them too good treatment. They are no longer hiding in the rear to shoot promotional videos as they did at the beginning of the war; now, they are all assigned to the front lines.
Denis Kapustin was killed by an FPV drone attack in the Zaporozhye region under Ukrainian control early Saturday morning. He was one of the leaders of the Russian Volunteer Army (RDK). According to the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia, he, as a Russian, had participated in combat operations on the Ukrainian side. In the summer of 2022, he planned an attempt to bomb energy facilities in the Volgograd region, and in 2023, he organized armed attacks. He also attempted to assassinate Konstantin Malofeyev, the founder of the "Tsargrad" TV channel, in the Bryansk region.
