According to Russian Telegram channels, Živković was allegedly killed in the fighting in Kursk, a part of Russia that is under the control of Ukrainian forces.
The body of Serbian volunteer Bratislava Živković was recovered from the area Kursk, where there are fierce battles between Ukrainian and Russian armies, which confirmed his death.
According to Russian Telegram channels, Živković was allegedly killed in the fighting in Kursk, a part of Russia controlled by Ukrainian forces.
Posts about his death can also be seen on the profiles of his family members.
He was previously known as a controversial figure who violated Serbian laws by fighting in wars abroad.
Živkovic was the commander of the Chetnik movement, a Serbian paramilitary force, who fought on the side of pro-Russian separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces of Ukraine in 2014 and 2015 as part of the extreme right-wing organization Unité Continentale.
In 2018, Živković was arrested in Serbia on suspicion of organizing the participation of Serbs in armed conflicts in Ukraine and offering them 200 euros per month for this, so that in April 2019, the prosecution suspended the investigation against him.
After a few years, he returned to Serbia, appeared on television, where he talked about his participation in the Russian-Ukrainian war, before returning to Russia some time ago, and continued his involvement in the Russian army.
Ten days ago, the first news about the death of Živković arrived, although it was unconfirmed. After the initial news of his death, there were also rumors that he was found wounded and in a coma.
There was no further news about his fate, until today's confirmation of his death via social media.

His body was recovered today, his family confirmed.
