Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in #Ukrainian hands.
Oleksandr, who worked at an occupied nuclear power plant, was glad when his colleague, Andriy, was assassinated.
Andriy collaborated with the occupiers running the plant, which is now used by #Russia as nuclear blackmail.

“I was very pleasantly surprised,” he said. “It was good news. Well, he deserved it.”
This isn’t your regular office rivalry.

Three days ago, at 7 a.m., Korotkyy met a fiery end, likely assassinated by #Ukrainian intelligence.

in reply to Tim Mak • • •A video of his death, published by #Ukrainian military intelligence, also known as GUR, shows Andrii’s car exploding in the Russian-occupied city of Enerhodar.
The #Russian side said that he died of his wounds.

in reply to Tim Mak • • •Oleksandr had a very different view.
“A lot of decent people suffered because of scum like him—people who were innocent, just pro-Ukrainian. And he handed them over, leading to their torture and suffering,” Oleksandr told The Counteoffensive.
