Captain Filimonov, a leading figure of Ukrainian resistance in the Donbas
The 30-year-old officer, a former activist in the Maidan revolution in 2014, commands the 108th Assault Battalion of the 59th Brigade. He succeeded Dmytro Kotsiubailo, known as 'Da Vinci,' as head of the unit – the first volunteer to be awarded the title of 'Hero of Ukraine.'
