The Armed Forces of Ukraine eliminated a Russian occupier and a master of sports in army hand-to-hand combat.

The Defense Forces reported that the Russian occupier Zorikto Bulgutov was eliminated. He was born on October 4, 1979, and was an athlete, engaged in army hand-to-hand combat and other sports.

In November 2024, he signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and joined the occupying army. He served in the 137th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment as a squad commander. However, on March 3, 2025, he was eliminated in the Kursk region.

His farewell will take place on April 9. Recently, the defense forces also eliminated another traitor from Crimea, Oleksiy Yablonsky, who was a football player.

Oleksiy Yablonsky was born on June 6, 1989, and played in various football teams, including the Ukrainian national futsal team. After the annexation of Crimea, he continued his career in the occupied peninsula.

This is not the first case where the Russian Ministry of Defense signs a contract with a person who has serious health issues. There was a case involving Oleksandr Rabotnytsky, who had organic brain damage and was a Paralympic Games medalist. The death of the occupier Zorikto Bulgutov is being discussed among his relatives and friends.
