At the same time, it should be noted that the killer’s initials — Vasylchenkov Dmytro — also coincide with the letters ADF, so his emails might not be related to the Russian Armed Forces.

The Center for Countering Corruption also reminded that in his posts, Vasylchenkov denied the existence of Ukraine, calling it ’so-called Ukraine’ in the posts, and criticized the Russian Igor Girkin for not destroying the city of Bakhmut in 2014.

And the police calmly re-registered Vasylchenkov’s weapons in 2025," — emphasized the Center for Countering Corruption.
