Yurii Sodol

[8] On 23 June 2024, Lieutenant Colonel Bohdan Krotevych, one of the commanders of the Azov Brigade, filed an official complaint with the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI).

[10] For a long time before his dismissal, the People's Deputy Maryana Bezuhla was calling Sodol in interviews and on social media a "criminal" and a "murderer" on a daily basis.

[12] Also, according to Ukrainska Pravda, Sodol as commander of Khortytsia operational-strategic group was responsible for preparing the defence before the repeated Russian offensive on Kharkiv oblast.

Sodol also was in charge of the amphibious operation to establish a bridgehead on the Dnieper in 2023, with fighting taking place at the village of Krynky in the Kherson Oblast.

[6] On 29 June, the Ukrainian media Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing its own sources, that the SBI had replied to Krotevych that it would check General Sodol's actions during the Russian offensive.
