The man who Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) wants most in eastern

Ukraine, alleged Russian Military Intelligence Colonel Igor Strelkov, has

emerged beyond command-and-control recordings to give a news conference in the restive

city of Sloviansk on April 26, reported Life News, a Russian media outlet.

Video footage shows him

dressed in military fatigue with a Saint George ribbon tied to his left arm as

the self-proclaimed commander of the “Donbass People’s Militia.” Sitting beside

Denis Pushilin, who calls him the chairman of “People’s Republic of Donbass,” the

Russian acknowledged that the SBU on April 25 had detained self-proclaimed Sloviansk

Deputy Mayor Ihor Perepychayenko in Donetsk Airport.
