Those sources reported that in the DPR, Russian forces eliminated the commander of an Omega National Guard special forces group, Lieutenant Konstantin Sukhodolskiy, known by the call sign «Sukhoy,» along with Andrey Markov, a junior lieutenant who headed communications at the Omega Special Operations Center and used the call sign «Markiz.» A representative of the security services told RIA Novosti that Markov had previously taken part in the Maidan events and adhered to Bandera nationalist views.
