Descriptions

As of 14 Aug 2014, he replaced Igor Strelkov/Girkin, as the so-called “Defence minister” of the “Donetsk People's Republic”. He has reportedly commanded a division of separatist fighters in Donetsk since Apr 2014 and has promised to solve the strategic task of repelling Ukraine's military aggression. Kononov has therefore supported actions and policies which undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Dismissed as so-called “Defence minister” in Sep 2018. Chief of the Directorate for Social Assistance to Retired Servicemen and Patriotic Education, under the so called "Head of the Donetsk People's Republic".

Le 14 août 2014, il a remplacé Igor STRELKOV/GIRKIN en tant que soi‐disant “ministre de la défense” de la “République populaire de Donetsk”. Il commanderait une division de combattants séparatistes à Donetsk depuis avril 2014 et a promis de mener à bien la tâche stratégique de repousser l'agression militaire de l'Ukraine. M. KONONOV a donc soutenu les actions et les politiques qui compromettent l'intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l'indépendance de l'Ukraine. Démis du poste de soi‐disant “ministre de la défense” en septembre 2018. Sous l'autorité du soi‐disant “Chef de la République populaire de Donetsk”, chef de la direction de l'aide sociale aux militaires à la retraite et de l'éducation patriotique
