The RDC reported this in Telegram, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.

“Last night, our commander, Denis “WhiteRex” Kapustin, was heroically killed in the Zaporizhzhia sector while performing a combat mission. According to preliminary data, it was an FPV drone attack,” the statement reads.

“All the details will be announced later – while the details of what happened are being established,” the RDC emphasized.

Soldier Ihor Lutsenko wrote on Facebook that Denys’s death was a great loss for Ukraine.

“He was very effective in “reprogramming” Russians, and they came to fight on our side.

Denys’s success in this is one of the reasons why I say that our victory is quite achievable. The Russian Federation is weak because it has no truth behind it in this war, but we do. Denis put this moral advantage into practice. Russians believed him and followed him.

A couple of weeks ago, I witnessed Denis being asked what was your motivation for fighting with Ukraine

He replied, in part, that it was to atone for the evil that his compatriots had done to Ukraine at the cost of his life.

I don’t know if they believed him. But as Denys said, so he did,” Lutsenko said in a statement.
