The chief of the Azov staff, Bohdan Krotevych, is leaving his position.

Lieutenant Colonel Bohdan 'Tavr' Krotevych, who led the staff of the 12th Special Operations Brigade 'Azov', is ending his military service. This news is reported by 'Glavkom' referring to a post from 'Azov'.

'Tavr' joined the brigade in 2014 and became a platoon commander. He participated in the main combat operations of the ATO/JFO and actively developed the unit, his comrades note.

In 2021, Bohdan Krotevych took command of the 'Azov' staff and joined the leadership of the defense of Mariupol, becoming the assistant commander. He also actively coordinated the brigade's actions during the summer counteroffensive in the Zaporizhzhia direction in 2023 after returning from Russian captivity in September 2022.

Returning to the duties of chief of staff, Krotevych led the defense and counteroffensive actions of 'Azov' in the Kreminna and Toretsk directions. The reasons for his resignation have not yet been clarified by his comrades.

'Azov' was for me a mentor, above all, as a man and a patriot of my country, for which I will always be grateful to the unit and its team,' Tavr recounts.

Earlier, Bohdan 'Tavr' Krotevych, the honorary chief of staff of the 'Azov' regiment, initiated an investigation against a certain military general. Krotevych addressed the State Bureau of Investigation (DBR) with a statement. He did not specify the general's surname but noted that he is responsible for the loss of regions, cities, and thousands of Ukrainian soldiers. The general, according to Krotevych, 'has killed more Ukrainian servicemen than any Russian general.'
