Ukraine Fakes Commander’s Death, Claims Kremlin Bounty: A Triumphant Troll
In a surprising turn of events, Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) announced the faked death of Denis Kapustin, commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK). Reports of Kapustin’s death in Zaporizhzhia Oblast were revealed to be part of a special operation designed to mislead Russian intelligence services, who had placed a $500,000 bounty on his head. The HUR also claimed the funds allocated for the assassination. Kapustin, now confirmed to be alive and well on Ukrainian territory, has confirmed his readiness to continue leading the RDK.
