Russia confirms top military official killed in missile strike on Arabat Spit
A colonel of the Russian Interior Ministry, Sergei Postovalov, was killed in a missile strike on a hotel on the Russian-occupied Arabat Spit in the Sea of Azov on June 10, Russian police reported on June 20.
Postovalov served as the Russian Interior Ministry's deputy head in Russia’s Voronezh Oblast. He was "appointed" to the same position in the Russian occupation authority in Kherson Oblast.
The Moscow-appointed head of the Kherson occupation, Volodymyr Saldo, was also located at the hotel, according to media reports.
Saldo subsequently claimed that a hotel had been destroyed in the coastal town of Zaliznyi Port, while complaining about the “persecution of the leading persons of Kherson Oblast."
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
