Russian propagandists claim Ukrainian Armed Forces liquidated brigade commander Denis Ivanov

International intelligence community InformNapalm channel reports this. 

The VCHK-OGPU, a pro-Kremlin Telegram channel, was the first to announce Ivanov's death, citing its sources. According to the channel, "Tashkent" was killed when a kamikaze drone struck his car.

“Ivanov, known as the "legendary brigadier," was frequently featured on Russian state channels. Russian propaganda portrayed him as a hero during his life, often appearing on live broadcasts of Kremlin channels, he was even called Olga Skabeeva's (Russian TV presenter-propagandist) "favorite". He was one of the unnamed "heroes," referred to as "Tashkent" as his call sign,” as mentioned by InformNapalm.

The channel mentioned that despite the heroization, Ivanov never received the title "Hero of Russia."

• In June, Ukrainian defenders eliminated the commander of the 96th separate reconnaissance brigade of the Russian Federation.

• In Ukraine, Yevgeny Pisarenko, the commander of the Russian special forces Akhmat, who had been fighting in Donetsk since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, was also eliminated.
