Participation in the “special military operation in Kursk region”
With the beginning of active operations of Ukrainian units in the territories bordering the Russian Federation, namely in the Kursk region, Ivan Krutikov began serving in the special purpose unit “ArBat”, which is part of the international brigade of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation “Pyatnashka”, located in the Kursk region. Due to his “combat experience” he was appointed battalion commander of the Kursk detachment “Kursk Knights”.
