"Colonel Tymoshyn was killed as a result of the attack on L'gov in the Kursk region. It was he who gave the order to strike a residential building in Dnipro. He was also involved in a missile strike on a shopping center in Kremenchuk, a city house of culture in Kharkiv region and a high-rise building in Odesa region," the statement said.
