One of the people on the “zeroers” list who gave orders to kill fellow servicemen has been killed in Ukraine

At the end of May, Ilkhom Peter, commander of an assault unit in Russia’s 80th Tank Regiment, who appeared in Verstka’s special project about executions in the Russian army, was killed in Ukraine. Peter’s wife reported this on her VK page.

According to her, Peter was killed on May 25, 2026. The soldier’s wife did not specify the circumstances in which this happened.

“Everyone who knows you says they have never met a person more cheerful and kinder than you. I promise to do everything so that our daughter knows and is proud of her father, who became an angel for her,” she wrote.

Ilkhom Peter was a native of Orenburg Region and was known by the call sign “Shark.” In the war against Ukraine, he commanded assault troops of the 80th Tank Regiment of the 90th Tank Division of the “Center” grouping. At the beginning of the invasion, their unit occupied the village of Bohdanivka in Kyiv Region, where Russian soldiers killed and raped civilians.

Peter’s fellow servicemen said that in his company, soldiers were extorted for money literally for everything: to buy equipment, to avoid going on an assault, or to avoid being thrown into the “pit.”

“’Shark’ gave the order to zero out a guy with the call sign ‘Fixa,’ who had no weapon, no body armor. Because he refused to go expose the khokhols’ position. With nothing. He used to say: ‘Until I get Hero of Russia, all of you are going to keep dropping for me,’” one of the assault troops told Verstka.
