ANOTHER Ukrainian anti-fascist commander was assassinated yesterday morning — the second in a week — when a shoulder-launched rocket hit his office.
Mikhail Tolstykh, better known under his nom de guerre Givi, died in the attack in Donetsk city, capital of the self-proclaimed Donetsk Peoples’ Republic (DPR).
“Mikhail Tolstykh, a hero of the People’s Republic of Donetsk, the commander of Somali battalion, was killed today at 6.12am as a result of a terrorist attack,” the Donetsk News Agency quoted from a statement from the DPR’s military command.
