What a rise. A career made in a few years. And the awards just keep coming. Maybe a super-spy? Then when did he do any academic work? Maybe also someone’s muse?
Many guys dream of getting a ceremonial firearm, even though 4, 5 years at war (or more), with wounds. And in fond memory of “Admiral” Vasyl Myroshnychenko — he walked the roads of war for 11 years, from senior seaman to major.
And a post from the father of a serviceman with a disability who did not receive awards because he has already been discharged from service Vincheslav Nik...
In the photo — a certain National Guard major Yurii Valentynovych Spasskyi, a former Hero of Ukraine.

Until April 2014 — deputy head of the department for ensuring mass events of the Public Security Directorate of the Main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in Kyiv. Organizer of murders of participants of the Revolution of Dignity.
Questions to the Office of the President of Ukraine, the Office of the Prosecutor General, the National Guard of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine:
For what merits, at such a pace and with obvious violations (twice awarded a firearm; a lustrated official accused of murders), was this person awarded Ukraine’s highest state honors?
What feats or heroic acts did this person perform every half-year while studying in postgraduate school, for which he was every six months awarded orders and ultimately the title Hero of Ukraine?
Who prepared the documents for the awards for signature, who approved them, signed them, and submitted them for consideration to the heads of the ministries and to the Office of the President of Ukraine? And how will such people be held accountable for their actions?
Why do true Heroes-Defenders, like my son Ihor Oliinyk, an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who was nominated three times for the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, 3rd class, and despite a severe wound sustained in June 2023 that resulted in a second-group disability, still remain without an award!!!! And to all letters sent — from the command of the military unit to #офіспрезидентаукраїни — standard bureaucratic replies are received that discharged servicemembers cannot be awarded.
I ask that this shameful case be widely publicized and demand answers to the questions raised in this post, which trouble not only me.
