Ukraine Army destroys Russian commander who wanted to storm Odesa

Ukrainian defenders have destroyed Colonel Sharov, commander of the Russian army's 810th Marine Brigade

He commanded infantry who wanted to storm Odesa but were eliminated near Mykolaiv and Mariupol.

Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesman for the Odesa military administration, said this in a statement posted to Telegram.

"Our military has destroyed the commander of the Russian marine brigade. This will be done with anyone who is trying to rape Ukrainian women and to kill our children. And there's no excuse for them," Bratchuk said.
