In Sevastopol, They May Have Eliminated The Traitor Who Handed Over The Submarine *Zaporozhye* To The Enemy

The explosive device may have been planted in a trash can.

In the temporarily occupied city of Sevastopol, on Stoletov Avenue an explosion occurred, which, according to preliminary reports, killed the former commander of Ukraine’s only submarine, the “Zaporizhzhia” , Robert Shageev, reports UNIAN.

According to Z-Channels, the man was walking down a staircase on the street when an explosive device detonated nearby. Russian propaganda outlets claim that the device may have been planted in a trash can and also report the arrest of a woman who allegedly detonated the explosive.

According to the “Crimean Wind” channel, a former military submariner was killed in an explosion in Sevastopol. Subsequently, Russian media outlets reported that Robert Shageev had been killed. This information has yet to be confirmed.

Who is Robert Shageev

As early as March 12, 2014, Shageev publicly declared that the submarine’s crew would remain loyal to Ukraine. According to him, by that point, the Russian side had already demanded several times that the sailors switch sides.

However, on March 21, 2014, the situation changed. The Russian military seized the *Zaporizhzhia*, and Shageev transferred to the Russian Navy. Ukrainian sources subsequently called him a traitor and reported that he was wanted for desertion.

In 2016, Ukrainian media reported that, after defecting to Russia, Shageev had been assigned a command position in the Russian Black Sea Fleet. In particular, “Dumskaya” reported that he became the commander of the diesel-electric submarine B-268 “Veliky Novgorod.”

His name also appeared on lists of Crimean military personnel whom the Ukrainian side considered traitors following the occupation of the peninsula.
