The life of the commander of the 206th Kyiv battalion of the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, “cyborg” Vitaliy Baranov, was cut short in Donetsk region.
The legendary “Bibi” was 56 years old. He had been at war since 2014, commanding the paratroopers who were the last to leave Donetsk airport in January 2015.
From the first days of the large-scale invasion in February 2022, he defended Kyiv region, and soon became the head of the 206th Battalion, which is fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine.
The mayor of Bucha, Anatoliy Fedoruk, said that the commander’s heart failed.
“After one of the meetings in the combat zone, he fainted. We tried to resuscitate him by all means. But they failed. The time has come,” Oleksiy Mochanov wrote on Facebook.

From the UK: I share the same age as him. All I can say is he’s led a more purposeful and fuller life than I have. RIP.
Heroyam Slava!
Rest save warrior, herojam Slava!
Respect
How’d he die natural or war related?
Rest in peace
RIP
RIP hero
>”In an hour and a half, my comrades-in-arms from the 90th battalion also arrived there. There were 10-12 of us. We received weapons, and for all of us, as well as for tens of thousands of Ukrainians, a new life began that day,” he said.
He lived to see and fight with and lead in war a supremely defiant Ukraine. That’s a soldier’s life.
My deepest respect, and condolences on losing another hero of Ukraine.
What a monster, gangster way to go out in a war… not at the hands of the enemy.
Heroyam slava!
Rest in piece. I hope this will not negatively impact the situation. Maybe somebody can enlighten me.
Rest in Peace hero of Ukraine. SLAVA UKRAINI!! HEROIAM SLAVA!!!
Not even war can take this type of man. Only Almighty God!
