The information was reported by the propaganda news agency TASS.

The spokesman for the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, Alexander Belsky, said that Vashunin was fatally wounded when he " went to the aid of the Storm unit, which was surrounded."

"During the clash, Colonel Vashunin was cut off from his fellow soldiers and seriously wounded. Despite the self-help measures he took, he died, selflessly fighting until the last minute," says Belsky.
