Euromaidan activist Ivan Hranatkin responded by publishing several photos of Pylypenko during the Maidan clashes, and asked him a pointed question:
“So, Colonel, are you sleeping like a baby, you bastard?!”
It should also be noted that in 2016, Colonel Pylypenko was awarded the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky III degree by Presidential Decree.
In his turn, MP Andriy Biletsky confirmed that the photo shows Pylypenko violently kicking a Euromaidan activist.
“Today Pylypenko is in charge of managing military personnel as Deputy Head of the National Academy of the National Guard of Ukraine, that is, he’s responsible for forming their sense of military and political consciousness. He may even tell them stories about the Maidan…”
Biletsky added that the activist lying helplessly on the ground was now a young soldier named “Akula” (Shark) of the Azov Special Purpose Battalion, “the youngest battalion commander in Ukraine, and despite his 25 years, an experienced veteran of the war in Donbas”.
Why has no one been brought to justice for the mass killings and beatings on the Maidan?
Why are former Berkut officers and policemen still active in government structures?
Why is no one behind bars for the murder of Katia Handziuk and attempts on other activists?
