Severed legs, died of blood loss: elimination of top Black Sea Fleet officer who ordered to fire missiles at Ukraine was an SSU operation

The Security Service of Ukraine has confirmed the elimination of the chief of staff of missile ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. They noted that the war criminal involved in the shelling of Ukraine was killed by the SSU: he died of blood loss after a car bombing.

In particular, Trankovsky was involved in the shelling of Vinnytsia in July 2022, which killed 29 Ukrainians. This was reported to OBOZ.UA by sources in the SSU.

OBOZ.UA sources claim that the car bombing in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol on the morning of November 13 of the Chief of Staff of the 41st Brigade of Missile Ships and Boats of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Valery Trankovsky, was the result of a successful SSU special operation.

As a result of the explosion, the Russian captain's legs were blown off and he died of blood loss.

Trankovsky definitely deserved to be killed, because it was he who ordered the launch of cruise missiles from the Black Sea at civilian targets in Ukraine.

In particular, on his orders, the occupiers attacked Vinnytsia in July 2022 with Kalibr missiles, killing 29 civilians.

Trankovsky is also responsible for repeated strikes on Odesa and other peaceful Ukrainian cities, as well as dozens of Ukrainian lives taken by Russian missiles.

"He was an absolutely legitimate target from the point of view of the laws and customs of war," the source said.

Russian propagandists claim that Trankovsky had been under surveillance for seven days before the car bombing. An improvised explosive device placed under the bottom of the car was activated remotely.

"It is symbolic that a Russian war criminal with the blood of dozens of peaceful Ukrainians on his hands ended his ignominious life on Taras Shevchenko Street in Sevastopol. It is only a matter of time before the atrocity is paid for. No occupier and murderer can feel safe wherever he is," the SSU source emphasized.
