How AFU Liquidated 'Highly Classified' Russian Colonel

Details of the elimination of the Tashkent brigade commander have become known.

Another high-ranking Russian officer has been liquidated in Ukraine - the commander of the 2nd separate motorized rifle brigade of the LPR, Colonel Denis Ivanov (call sign Tashkent). He often appeared on Russian state channels and was called a "legendary brigade commander".

The liquidation of the invader was reported by Russian media on July 18, then AFU Colonel Anatoly Shtefan (Shtrylits) confirmed this information.

Ivanov was the commander of the Russian 138th Guards Krasnoselskaya Order of Lenin Red Banner Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade.

Propagandists write that Denis Ivanov was "classified" and his name should not be mentioned.

He died on the territory of the occupied Luhansk region. He was allegedly destroyed by a kamikaze drone attack while driving a car. The VCHK-OGPU telegram channel reports this with reference to the source.

Journalist Denis Kazansky writes that other reports say Ivanov was destroyed by a missile strike on a Russian base in the village of Yubileynoye near Luhansk.

Kremlin television also reported Ivanov's elimination.

"A new morning will come, already without Tashkent," the propagandists said.
