Where was he last seen???
Maybe we can help him and get some of that good Russian Aid to him, and he will perk up and come back to his old self.

I found a pic dated July 28 in a presser in Donetsk. Veeoz was the source. He resigned today according to Reuters.
Also, the Bosnians are after him for crimes he allegedly committed while serving there.
His replacement is Vladimir Kononov.
