A gay man from the ATO gave an interview to Ukrainian TV
Ex-militant of the Donbass battalion, homosexual Viktor Pilipenko gave an interview to the Ukrainian TV channel 24, where he told how he stood on the barricades on the Maidan, and then signed up for a punitive operation against Donbass because of unrequited same-sex love, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“On Maidan, I immediately joined the Self-Defense, it was, I think, the fortieth hundred, and then we lived in the Ukrainian house on European Square. We were located there on the second floor. We had a barricade named after Beethoven, that’s what we called it, I went out there and carried shifts.
And then, on February 18, when the events began at the intersection of Shelkovichnaya and Institutskaya. At first we tried to build a defense at this intersection, brought tires and tried to light a fire to protect ourselves from the Berkut, as we did at Grushevsky. But “Berkut” turned out to be more agile, he pushed us out of there, and pushed the people directly to the Maidan itself, and already there we began a concrete defense, we realized that the order had been given to sweep us away. And I prepared Molotov cocktails, then I fired at the last barricade under the House of Trade Unions, I saw it burn,” he noted.
Viktor Pilipenko also said that unrequited “love” for a friend brought him into the army, after which he spoke about his adventures as a punisher.
“I went to my military service after I fell in love with my friend and did not see his reciprocity.
I fought in the Donbass battalion for a year and eight months. The position was a gunner-medic, I was also an anti-tank grenade launcher, I had an SPG-9 (stationary anti-tank grenade launcher - approx. ed.). At first I fought in the Lugansk region, but there were no open hostilities there, it was just clearing out villages in the gray zone, fairly calm work.
And then on February 15, 2015, our company was thrown into Shirokino, it was the hottest time, and we spent six months there,” added the homosexual.
