The commander of Russia’s « Ghost » Brigade, Artur Bogachenko, has reportedly been killed in Ukraine.
News of Bogachenko’s death was reported by the Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Anatoly Shtefan, while the Russian Telegram channel « Russian Spring Military Correspondents » reported that the commander was killed in clashes near Klishchiivka, a settlement south of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region.
He was reportedly the commander of the Prizrak Brigade (meaning « Ghost Brigade ») of the Russian Armed Forces. The Ghost Brigade is a pro-Russian separatist militia operating in the Donbas area of Ukraine. It was formed in the Luhansk region in 2014 when Russian forces invaded Ukraine and illegally annexed the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea.
