Ex-officer of Ukraine’s internal troops, Colonel Vasyl Pylypenko, who was appointed Deputy Head of the National Academy of the National Guard of Ukraine in charge of personnel management in December 2018, was recently identified on several photos taken during the Revolution of Dignity, showing how he savagely attacked and beat activists.
“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.
“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”.
Editor: As we move into the fifth year of the Euromaidan anniversary, the Russian occupation of Crimea and invasion of Donbas, Ukrainian activists, NGOs, human rights organizations and ordinary citizens demand answers:
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?
