Rocchelli and the Russian human rights defender Andrey Mironov were killed on the outskirts of Sloviansk, Donetsk region, in May 2014. The Ukrainian side is investigating the case. The course of the investigation has been part of the discussion during bilateral Ukrainian-Italian talks quite a number of times including high-level ones.

Attempts to analyze the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stopfake.org\/it\/la-verita-su-andrea-rocchelli\/\">data from open sources<\/a> demonstrate that the positions of Ukrainian troops, as well as the weapons they were in possession of back then, would have made it impossible for them to hit the area where the Italian journalist was.

The Chaika \u201cPresviata Pokrova\u201d was constructed in Lviv in 1992 and is an exact copy of the Cossack warship of the XV century. The boat was created based on the archive technical drawings of the Cossack fleet pertaining to the period of time when they were sailing across the Danube river and storming the Turkish fortress of Izmail. Over the 25 years \u201cPresviata Pokrova\u201d has taken part in numerous competitions, festivals and film shooting events. Over the last several years resulting from the lack of financing the boat did not have proper care and was damaged. It is currently stationed in Pont-Aven in western France. Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign in 2016 renovation works of the legendary Chaika were started. Artistic items showcased at the Lviv exhibition use the elements of the boat. The exhibition \u201cChaika. Reminiscence 1992-2017\u201d is on until July 7.
