He stated this during a press conference attended by captured Ukrainian military personnel.
“For example, in the company of these guys there were three people left alive. 4 hours of battle and we destroyed an entire company,” he said. – The losses of the Ukrainian army here number in the hundreds.
I want to appeal to the government of Ukraine, I am no longer appealing to President Poroshenko, it is unlikely that he will come here... you know, I want to say the following: unlike this junta that seized power in Kiev, the people of Ukraine are truly great .
I want to appeal to the lieutenant colonel who had the honor of talking to me near the airport. I promise this lieutenant colonel that I will collect all those killed at the airport, those whom we can find and collect - soldiers of the Ukrainian army. We can hand over those killed to this person so that they can be buried near their relatives on their own land. We - I promise that we will give full military honors to these people because they fought honorably, they are truly heroes in their own way. And as an enemy, we respect them for their heroism and courage,” said the DPR leader.
“This is probably the biggest task of anyone in the military, any officer - to appreciate the courage and dignity of the people who fight against you. Therefore, unfortunately, I don’t know what his name is, but I promise you, Lieutenant Colonel, that I will give you these fighters of yours, your guys.”
As PolitNavigator reported, a video appeared on the Internet earlier in which Zakharchenko is arguing with a Ukrainian officer near the Donetsk airport.
