Maksym Mykhaylovych Shapoval (Ukrainian: Максим Михайлович Шаповал; 6 July 1978 – 27 June 2017)[1] was a senior officer (Colonel) in the Ukrainian military and head of the special forces of the Chief Intelligence Directorate. He was assassinated in a car bomb attack in central Kyiv on 27 June 2017, having only recently returned from the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine.[2][3][4] At the time of his death, Shapoval was investigating Russian involvement in Eastern Ukraine. He collected intel on their locations and weapons, which was able to substantiate Ukraine's position in the war criminal trial in The Hague on Russia's armed aggression.[5] At the time, he was one of the most senior Ukrainian officials killed in action.
