Reports from Russia indicate the death of Major General Valery Plokhotnyuk, who is said to be related to Alexander Chaika, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Federation’s Aerospace Forces. 

According to Russian media, he was buried on August 6 at the Troekurovsky Cemetery in Moscow.

Earlier reports indicated that Oleksandr Chaika’s son-in-law, Danylo Peredriy, was killed in the same incident. According to Russian Telegram channels, a private event at the restaurant may have been held to celebrate the 55th birthday of the commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
