Victor Lebediev – a former officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the rank of Major, a combat veteran of the 2015–2017 and 2022–2023 campaigns, and a veteran of the russo-ukrainian War. An ethnic Russian, he joined Ukraine’s Defense Forces to protect the Ukrainian people, the sovereignty, and the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Victor is an ethnic Russian, originally from Central Asia, where he attended a sports boarding school and a construction college. He earned his first technical higher education in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and currently resides in Poltava. In 1986, he took part in liquidation efforts following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. He spent nearly 10 years working in Russia, including in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, before returning to Ukraine.
RECENT COMMENTARY
The Russian Lt. General Igor Kirillov was killed in Moscow. He was guilty of ordering use of chemical weapons in Ukraine. Sanctioned by the UK on October 8, 2024, Kirillov was charged by SSU in Ukraine the day before he was eliminated in Moscow.
When asked about ‘well did they try to bring him to court’, I did correctly state that in Ukraine, the concept of the International Community is rather useless considering 3 years of standing by with a bare involvement to stop a super power from destroying the country.
