Russian Volunteer Corps commander alive after Ukrainian intelligence operation nets $500K

The Main Intelligence Directorate reported the information.

"Welcome back! First of all, Mr. Denis, I congratulate you on your return to life. This is always pleasant. I'm glad that the funds received for the contract on your liquidation went to support our struggle. I wish all of us, and you personally, success," said Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukrainian intelligence, in his greeting to Kapustin.

The complex intelligence special operation lasted over a month, and as a result, the life of the Russian Volunteer Corps commander was preserved. Russian special services had previously ordered his assassination for half a million dollars. These funds will now strengthen the special units of the Main Intelligence Directorate.

"Our side also received the corresponding sum of money allocated by Russian special services to carry out this crime. As of now, the Russian Volunteer Corps commander is on Ukrainian territory and is preparing to continue carrying out his assigned tasks," said the commander of Tymur's Special Unit.

Intelligence officers also identified the individuals who ordered the crime within the Russian special services, as well as the intended executors.

"My temporary absence did not affect the quality and success of combat mission execution. I am ready to head to the mission area and continue commanding the Russian Volunteer Corps unit," Kapustin emphasized.

• Earlier, the Russian Volunteer Corps reported that on the night of December 27, Denis 'WhiteRex' Kapustin (Nikitin) was killed at the front.
