In 2014, when a military conflict began to flare up in Ukraine, Kudrin volunteered for Donbass, where he headed a motorized rifle battalion of militiamen, which became part of the LPR People's Militia. This unit fought heroically in the Chernukhino-Debaltseve operation.
In February of this year, when the special operation began, Denis Kudrin again went to Donbass. "I was seven months pregnant, but he couldn't stay away. I thought I should be there with my guys. And on March 7, Denis went missing," Tatiana recalls.
For three months, Kudrin's relatives hoped that he was alive and he managed to escape from the encirclement. "But then it became clear that he was dead," the woman continues. - There were several DNA examinations, and I myself participated in its identification.
"Yes, this is my photo and I was in the SVO zone this year, I personally knew Denis Kudrin, and he died in battle. I saw it, but I was not in captivity" the fighter responded to RT's request to comment on the situation.
