Elimination of traitors from Crimea

The defenders of Ukraine have once again successfully conducted an operation to eliminate traitors from Crimea. This Time the target was judoka Volodymyr Salnikov, who left his homeland and joined the enemy. From now on, he will no longer be a threat to the defenders of Ukraine.

Salnikov was born on May 28, 1974, and hails from the village of Ovosheve in the Dzhankoy district. Later, he moved to Sudak, where he practiced judo and held the title of 'candidate master of sports'. He also received officer education at the Higher Naval School named after Popov in Saint Petersburg.

On April 20, 2025, the defenders of Ukraine eliminated senior lieutenant Volodymyr Salnikov.

The farewell to the occupier is scheduled for May 10 in Sudak. This is not the first case where the defense forces have successfully identified and neutralized collaborators.

Similar scenarios unfolded with other representatives of the occupiers' sports world. For example, Russian football player and futsal player Oleksiy Yablonsky was also eliminated for siding with the enemy. His career also ended after a confrontation with Ukrainian defenders.
