Three years ago, terrorists killed Hero of the Donetsk People’s Republic Mikhail Tolstykh, a legendary battalion commander and a natural military tactician, Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin expressed his condolences.

“Thanks to Givi, the Somalia Battalion has won the glory of one of the best assault battalions of the Republic.

Mikhail Tolstykh could find a way out of any situation, inspire each of his fighters with confidence and courage by being an example of courage and honor himself. He took on hardest tasks and seemed to know ahead how the enemy would act. For all that, his enemies were in horror of him

Givi believed with all his heart in the undefeatable Donbass and did everything possible and even impossible so the Republic survived!

Eternal memory to the fallen Hero…” Denis Pushilin said.
