The shooter from the Cherkasy McDonald’s turned out to be a military man who went AWOL

The man who opened fire in a Cherkasy McDonald’s turned out to be a military serviceman who went AWOL.

This was reported by the media, who managed to locate the shooter’s wife.

«The circumstances drove him to this. Since the summer of 2022, my husband served in an airborne assault brigade, and last year, before the New Year holidays, due to intense pressure, lack of sleep, and no vacations, he went AWOL. If a person is on the run, you can imagine what kind of life they have. There were also problems with work,» said Maria.

«My husband is not an aggressive person, but against the backdrop of war and stress, this happened. He had no intention of harming anyone in the restaurant; he didn’t injure anyone. He only intended to harm himself, he wanted to end his life,» she added.

It is reported that the shooter’s name is Boyarshynov, and he was born in 1992. Mariya clarified that before the war, her husband worked in the field of SMM. «On the eve of August 7, he was at work all day,» she added.
