Russian Colonel Dmitry Lisitsky, who was responsible for war crimes in Ukraine, was found dead with a gunshot wound in his home city.
The cause of his death is disputed, with conflicting reports from the Ukrainian and Russian sides one side claims it was an elimination while the other is calling it suicide, respectively.
Yuri Butusov, who was the first to report the news to the Western world, claimed that Lisitsky was liquidated as retribution for the 2014 Ilovaisk cauldron massacre in the Donetsk region, where more than 350 Ukrainian servicemen were killed after pro-Russian troops mowed down retreating Ukrainians during a ceasefire. The man responsible for the carnage was Lisitsky.
Putins reaction to the massacre was to give the commander of Russias first Airborne Assault Battalion of the 247th Airborne Assault Regiment the nations highest medal, the Hero of Russia.

Russian media claimed it was the worst case of suicide ever seen in Russia. Four bullet wounds to the back of the head.

(7,008 posts)It only takes one bullet.
On the other hand, if Lisitsky had 47 bullets in him from his suicide, then possibly someone else will have to help Putin to do the same.
