Today, July 1, the commander of the 110th separate mechanized brigade named after General-Horunzhyi Mark Bezruchko - Colonel Serhiy Zakharov - passed away at the front. This was reported by Brigadier General Serhiy Sobko, as informed by 'Glavkom'.

'Today, a warrior, a son, a husband, the father of three children, my friend - Serhiy Zakharov... You were the best among us when we were learning, the most talented. You were the best later on when we became officers. Mattis once said that there are two qualities he values most in leaders - aggressiveness and initiative. Oh, that is exactly about you. We have no brighter example of an officer with these two qualities.'
