Killings
[edit]On the evening of August 12, 2021 in Sakhanka, a group of militants of Russian separatist forces in Donbas drank alcohol. After that, Corporal Danil Tsupryk started behaving inappropriately and started shooting at others. There he shot three civilians. They were his girlfriend and an elderly woman and man. He then fled, taking with him an AK-74 assault rifle, four magazines and a hand grenade. He was in camouflage and had a bulletproof vest. A search began for him. On the night of August 12–13, he was surrounded in a two-story building in Leninske by the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) interior ministry's special response unit. During the assault, he threw a grenade and killed the detachment commander and three soldiers. He was then shot.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
