Milchakov is well known for his participation in Russia’s semi-covert warfare campaign in Eastern Ukraine, involving
killing and torture of Ukrainians via its proxy, self-declared “LPR.”
“LPR” are known to be a proxy/subsidiary organization of Russian military intelligence (GRU). Read further in a War Log
exclusive here.Milchakov first gained notoriety as a
sadist puppy killer before he rose in Russia’s military ranks to become part of the elite Spetsnaz unit in GRU.
More recently, Milchakov became the partner of alleged FSB agent Yulia Kharlamov accused by Ukrainian media of organizing the violence at the National Guard protests in Kiev, Ukraine on October 13th.
