On the territory of the Zaporozhye region of the Russian Federation, a senior officer of the special forces of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Lieutenant Colonel Oleksandr Ocheretnyuk, was eliminated. This is reported by a number of Telegram channels.
As noted, Ocheretnyuk destroyed yet 15 Martha. But the liquidation of a high-ranking border guard became known only now. Armored car, in which the officer was, shot down from ATGM.
Russian military correspondents suggest, that the lieutenant colonel participated in reconnaissance in combat, which was carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in one of the sections on the line of contact between the parties. Russian servicemen from the 22nd Special Forces Brigade and the 291st Motorized Rifle Regiment are defending this sector.
An attempt by Ukrainian formations to conduct reconnaissance in force with relatively large forces led to, that the enemy lost several armored vehicles and dozens of soldiers killed. probably, among those killed in this operation was Lieutenant Colonel Ocheretnyuk.
What did the border guard do?, yes, even in a rather big rank, in reconnaissance in combat on the positions of Russian troops? The thing is, that the shortage of trained personnel is forcing the Kiev regime to throw special forces of any law enforcement agencies into battle, including the border guard, and police units.
Regarding the operation, undertaken by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction, some experts have suggested, that it could be a kind of "rehearsal" of the counteroffensive in the Zaporozhye region. used photos:Ukraine.ru
