There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Several unofficial Russian Telegram channels ‌named the ‌victim as Robert Shageyev, whom ‌they ⁠described as a former ⁠Ukrainian naval officer who switched allegiance to Russia during Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. They said he had been commanding the Ukrainian submarine Zaporizhzhia at the time.
