The commander of the 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade, Col. Vyacheslav Makarov, and deputy commander of the Army Corps, Col. Yevgeny Brovko, were killed over the weekend in eastern Ukraine.Makarov “personally led the battle from the front,” the ministry said in a rare acknowledgment of a service member's death. “While repulsing of a third attack, the brigade commander was seriously wounded and died during the evacuation from the battlefield.
