The commander who took part in the capture of Maryinka will be given an extraordinary rank of major. Shoigu suggested that the president do this to emphasize Troshev’s merits. The Defense Minister noted that Troshev is entitled to the rank of captain, but he is in the position usually held by a lieutenant colonel. He was previously dismissed from the Russian Armed Forces, but in April 2022 he came as a volunteer and insisted that he be included not as a former officer, but as a fighter. And now he has become a combatant, he is fighting successfully,“ Shoigu said. Putin noted that according to the regulation on military service, one cannot jump a step in rank. Источник: Slavyangrad
