In his words, Muzychko put up armed resistance to law enforcers in the detention raid. “Today a special operation was carried out jointly with operatives of the main anti-organised crime department and police commandoes Sokol today. He was found in a village near the western Ukrainian city of Rivne at cafe “Three Crucian Carps” and decided to detain him,” Yevdokimov noted. In his words, other three bandits from a gang led by Muzychko nicknamed Sashko Beliy were detained in the special operation, an assault rifle Kalashnikov and a pistol Makarov were confiscated.

“After police demands to surrender Beliy wanted to run away through the window and opened fire for effect at police commandoes Sokol. The first bullet hit a police commando in the helmet, but ricocheted in the forearm. Muzychko wounded this police commando in shoulder by the second gunshot,” the deputy interior minister added. “When he was brought down to the ground, he kept on shooting and was wounded. Doctors found Muzychko dead,” the senior police official said.

The Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against Oleksandr Muzychko for participation in combat actions on the side of Chechen warlords Khattab and Basayev against Russian servicemen.

Muzychko and other members of the ‘Ukrainian National Assembly — Ukrainian National Self Defense’ (UNA-UNSO) party took part in battles against Russian servicemen during the storm of Grozny and brutally tortured the captives, killing them after that. He is responsible for murders of not less than 20 Russian soldiers.

Both Ukraine and Russia have launched a criminal case on Muzychko and declared him wanted. Western countries also demanded the Ukrainian government to take measures against armed radicals.
