In temporarily occupied Berdiansk, the so-called deputy head of the occupation administration of the city was eliminated.

The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine reported on this.

According to the intelligence, on February 20, 2025, at 6:05 am, a gray Renault Duster exploded on Skhidnyi Avenue, near house No. 96.

A Russian citizen, Yevgeny Yurievich Bogdanov, was inside and died on the spot.
