This is reported by the propaganda news agency TASS.

 Stanislav Rzhytskyi  held positions in the city department for mobilization work and served as a captain in command of the Krasnodar submarine.

A military officer was fatally shot while jogging in Krasnodar, as reported by Baza and Shot telegram channels. The shooter, as well as the reason behind the attack, are currently unknown.

According to the Myrotvorets website,  Stanislav Rzhytskyi may have been involved in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It is possible that the Krasnodar submarine, commanded by Rzhytskyi, was one of the boats responsible for shelling Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, as suggested by NGL Media's investigation.

Ukrainian intelligence indicates that the Russian commander carried out missile strikes, including on Vinnytsia. However, it seems that he was eliminated by his own side for refusing to follow orders to launch missile attacks on peaceful Ukrainian cities, as it was deemed ineffective and posed a significant risk to civilians.

  • On the morning of July 14, 2022, the invaders targeted Vinnytsia with Kalibr missiles, resulting in 52 injuries and 21 deaths, including children.
