The terrorist act and death in the center of Kiev Maxim Shapoval, who was posthumously awarded the rank of Major-General, first opened this name to the Ukrainian people. Thousands of people came to his funeral. He died in the service of the Motherland, and he knew why and why he was at risk.

In the community of Ukrainian commandos Shapoval, of course, many. "Censor. NO "gathered about him that information, which you can now find out to everyone.

Maxim Shapoval was born on July 6, 1978 in Vinnitsa. Graduated from the Military Institute of the National Technical University "KPI" in 2000. In 2016 he graduated from the Military-Diplomatic Academy named after Yevgeny Bereznyak. Almost all of his military service is connected with the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, where he was distributed right after the university. He was the head of the department and died as commander of special forces of the GUR of the Defense Ministry - military unit No. 2245, formerly known as the 10th GUR detachment.

The birthday of the party is celebrated annually on July 1 - well, now this day and the birthday of the commander will be mourning, they will remember the deceased ....

He was appointed commander of special forces of military intelligence in January 2014, with Yanukovych. However, in no events on the Maidan military special forces participated. Shapoval had a professional reputation in the Spetsnaz circle, which allowed him to retain his post after the revolution.

From the very beginning of the war, the special forces of the GUR were one of the most prepared units that subordinated to the military command. Unfortunately, in the initial phase of the war, special forces were used as guard for generals, as a reserve, as infantry, mostly for other purposes. However, special task forces carried out the tasks.

May 26, 2014 in the first battle for the Donetsk airport a group of military special forces led by Shapoval himself along with other units of the reserve of the commander of the ATU was transferred to reinforce the detachment of the 3rd regiment of special forces in the old terminal, and took part in that battle.

The war continued, and gradually the use of military intelligence became more orderly and purposeful.

The military special forces conducted a number of military operations, during which mercenaries, representing value for the enemy were captured and used to exchange captured citizens of Ukraine.

Recently, the administration under the leadership of Shapoval has carried out a number of responsible combat missions, as a result of which the main enemy, the Russian special services, suffered significant losses. The enemy strikes, because he has suffered more than once from the actions of Ukrainian intelligence.

From what you can tell, our sources in the Shapoval administration called one operation - on June 7, 2017, the special forces of Ukraine's military intelligence liquidated in the occupied Donbas one of the leading officers of the Vympel special division of the FSB RF Colonel Yury M. Cherkashin, born in 1972. Cherkashin was responsible for organizing terrorist acts in Ukraine.

The attempt on Maxim Shapoval is only part of the terror unleashed by Russian special services in Ukraine. This is an attempt to disorganize the work of the Ukrainian special services, to dislodge those officers whose actions are dangerous for the enemy.

Obviously, Maxim was hunting - he was absolutely not a public person and knew perfectly well what could be one of the targets for the enemy, since the operations that his unit carried out had a resonance.

AT 12. 28 on the day of the attempt on the Russian website "Regnum" an article appeared in which a certain Russian author in every possible way demonized Maxim - that is, the same information throwing scheme was used to cover the murder, as in the cases of the murders of Denis Voronenkov and Colonel Alexander Kharaberius.

Unfortunately, one of those who contacted Shapoval in recent times, brought to him Russian agents. And someone was not necessarily an active employee - perhaps, a former employee, and perhaps - a friend, a friend.

And this traitor acted in Kiev as part of the Russian terrorist organization.

We are opposed by a strong and dangerous enemy - Russia has been waging constant wars for 26 years, and the border between our countries is conditional, and the front of the war of the special services lies deep in the rear.

Maxim Shapoval has a family left: wife, daughter of five, and son, who are two years old ... A bright memory of the hero who fell for the freedom and independence of our Motherland.
