Notorious Russian Colonel Who Oversaw Slaughter Of Hundreds Of Ukrainian Troops Is Found Dead

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.

Putin’s reaction to the massacre was to give the commander of Russia’s first Airborne Assault Battalion of the 247th Airborne Assault Regiment the nation’s highest medal, “the Hero of Russia.”

It’s probably tearing gaping holes in the fabric of my karma, but it’s all in the interest of bettering humanity.

He "took care" of the problem.

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

delivered, but complete justice is still missing in that those he (and his thugs) murdered in the Donetsk region, more than one person had to participate in murdering so many, during of all things, a ceasefire.

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.

I hope it was Ukrainians that had the pleasure of ridding the world of his presence.
