🇷🇺🇺🇦❗️SBU Colonel Ivan Voronich, who was killed in Kiev, was involved in the Ukrainian Armed Forces' invasion of the Kursk region and the murder of the commander of the Sparta anti-tank unit Arsen Pavlov (call sign "Motorola") in 2016, The New York Times writes, citing sources.

Russian military bloggers and regional media confirmed that Colonel Serhii Ilyin, commander of the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade, and the brigade’s chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Leonid Bashkardin, were killed in a Ukrainian strike on the unit’s headquarters in Korenevo, Kursk region, on 2 July. The loss removes the top leadership of a formation that has been repeatedly deployed in some of the Kremlin’s most costly ground operations. Separately, the New York Times reported that SBU Colonel Ivan Voronych was shot dead in Kyiv on 10 July. Voronych is said to have overseen last year’s Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk region and to have led the 2016 operation that killed pro-Russian separatist commander Arseny “Motorola” Pavlov. The back-to-back killings highlight the continued targeting of senior officers on both sides of the conflict, which is entering its fourth year with frontline positions largely static but covert operations intensifying far from the main battlefield.
