The most emotional was a woman who introduced herself as the mother of one of the fighters of the 25th battalion, in her opinion that it was time for Chief of the General Staff Viktor Muzhenko to shoot himself because the unit that was surrounded was not receiving assistance.
“I beg you, remove the National Guard from Artemovsk, give us help with equipment and weapons,” she said. – The Ministry of Defense did not have the right to send the 25th battalion understaffed. They only have two Urals and one infantry fighting vehicle.”
Immediately the woman was interrupted by MP Anton Gerashchenko, considered the creation of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov.
“You are only making things worse, since anyone is watching you now,” the politician tried to shut the speaker’s mouth. “No need to give details.”
“Today my child is dying, and I don’t give a damn where people look at me,” the woman snapped. “He’s the only one I have.”
Anton Gerashchenko tried to find out his son's last name, but was also refused.
“I won’t tell you anything,” said the mother. - I know how it's done. Tomorrow you will put a bullet in his forehead!
After this, the people’s deputy was pressed against the door at the checkpoint by Aidar protesters, while chanting “Ganba.” With difficulty, only after he was handed some documents, he was able to squeeze through the door of the checkpoint at the entrance to the courtyard of the ministerial complex.
“There are very few of our guys left there, that is, they were actually defeated,” the woman shared the details after this, speaking to the audience. “Personally, I won’t leave here until the battalion commander personally calls me and says that they are pulling the 25th battalion out of the pocket.” I urge all Kiev residents not to be indifferent. Tomorrow we will scream here for your children. Rise up and help us pull the children out of the cauldron. Help “Aidar” get out of Happiness. There's a massacre there. I just called. During the time we have been here, 25 of our children have died. And we don’t even know whose children. Maybe my son is among them.”
