Alexey Kostiushin
Lieutenant Colonel Alexey Kostiushin is a Ukrainian officer who gained attention for defying orders to remain in a potentially dangerous position in Donbas, a decision that led to an investigation by military police and the SBU. His actions were later vindicated, resulting in a promotion, which he attributes to a recognition of the logic behind his choice to prioritize the safety of his troops amid threats of retreat.
