59-year-old Volodymyr Podolyak died on May 19, 2024, in the village of Kyrylivka, located in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region.
The death in the war of Volodymyr Podolyak, the elder brother of advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak, was reported by the project Killed in Ukraine (KIU) with reference to a leaked Rosstat database. "Mediazona" drew attention to this.
According to the record in the leak, 59-year-old Volodymyr died on May 19, 2024, in the village of Kyrylivka, which is located in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region.
The document indicates an intracranial injury and "damages caused by unidentified military actions." There are no other details about how he died in the record.
KIU published a photo of Volodymyr Podolyak's grave back in 2024, but at that time the circumstances of his death were unknown.
On the portrait near the grave, he is in the uniform of a Russian colonel, with two Orders of Courage and the "For Service in Military Intelligence" badge.
In 2021, Mykhailo Podolyak said that his elder brother had long been a "military pensioner." He has not commented on his death. Earlier, Mykhailo acknowledged Volodymyr's connection with Russian special services, the publication notes.
