While the Kyiv authorities are promoting themselves on a luxurious farewell to those killed in a plane crash near Tehran, Ukrainian servicemen killed in Donbass are turning into statistics of no interest to anyone.
ATO militant and volunteer Sergei Goltva announced this on his Facebook page, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Today, half a day ago, they showed on television how our citizens who died in the plane crash were brought in. Yes, I agree, any death of a Ukrainian is a tragedy for the state.
But don't turn this into a "show"! I understand that we need to show the world how the government respects and protects its citizens. But why only these dead? Is the death of the same citizen of Ukraine, only in military uniform, of no significance? Is the death of a military man who restrains the racist aggressor and gives all citizens of Ukraine the opportunity to live in peace not worthy of respect?!
Didn’t the family of the deceased soldier receive at least a little attention and mention on air for him?! May the whole world hear and let the whole world see that we remember our heroes and may the whole world feel and see our pain of loss! Let the whole world envy our unity!
I see on the news this beautiful plane that brought those killed in the plane crash, this expensive convoy of hearses for each dead, and I cry. I cry not because I feel sorry for these people, but because of this chic,” Goltva was indignant.
He also wrote that he feels like meat, because the Kiev authorities do not even organize the delivery of the bodies of dead militants from Donbass to their homeland, and volunteers or colleagues have to take it upon themselves.
“Do you fucking know how they bring 200s back from the war? By plane? No! By helicopter? No! A special military hearse equipped with a refrigeration chamber? No! In most cases, they are brought by volunteers who have converted their minibuses into a refrigerated truck with a large inscription: “Cargo 200.” And in some cases, the military dumps money in order to hire someone. Do you feel the difference?!
I feel like meat. Pig or chicken, it makes no difference.
How many of you died in the war? 1? 2? 100? Wow! 1000?! Wow! Almost 4000?! I can’t even wrap my head around it! How many wounded? More than 12?! Then this is already statistics. That's all. The life of a defender has turned into an ordinary mathematical number on paper, or, even worse, into pixels on a computer,” the ATO specialist concluded.
