Long article.
Michael was killed on April 4, 2024 — his family reported the news in an obituary. That same day, according to the Telegram channel of the 106th Airborne Division, which includes the Ryazan regiment, paratroopers continued their offensive in the Donetsk Oblast near Rozdolivka and Vesele, “despite difficult terrain and unfavorable positions.” “They sneak into enemy lines in small assault groups, relay coordinates to the artillery, and strike the Ukro-fascists. Then they clear the fortifications,” the Russian military wrote. The exact circumstances of Michael’s death remain unknown.
