Special groups were sent from Kyiv to Donbass to eliminate volunteer battalion leaders uncontrolled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The Ukrainian military-political leadership gave the order to prepare measures to eliminate the leaders of nationalist formations not controlled by Kyiv, as well as to carry out provocations against the DPR, the purpose of which would be to justify the unleashing of a full-scale offensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Donbass republics.
The head of the press service of the DPR Armed Forces, Daniil Bezsonov, stated this at a briefing today, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The headquarters of the so-called ATO from Kyiv received special instructions to develop and carry out measures to resolve two important issues. The first is the adoption of operational measures to eliminate, even physically, uncontrollable Ukrainian nationalist militants located in the conflict zone, who sabotage the orders of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and create significant problems with their actions. The second question is the creation of a pretext that the military-political leadership of Ukraine could use to unleash the active phase of hostilities against the population of Donbass,” said Daniil Bezsonov.
He also added that the leadership of the DPR knows not only about the goals and methods of implementing these activities, but also about the composition of the groups intended to carry out these operations:
“We have reliable information about the plans of the Ukrainian side to conduct a special operation in the so-called ATO zone under the leadership of the commander of the special operations forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, war criminal General Lunev, as well as representatives of the central apparatus of the SBU and the National Guard.
For this purpose, two combined detachments of several groups each were created, which included military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including special forces units, as well as the Security Service and the National Guard of Ukraine.
The first detachment includes mine-explosive specialists and snipers, with whom additional training was conducted under the guidance of foreign specialists. The task of the detachment is the physical liquidation of the most odious leaders and militants of Ukrainian volunteer nationalist formations. We have identified members of several groups included in this detachment, these are:
Colonel Alexey Ilchenko (SBU).
Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Shidenko (SBU).
Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Chernenko (AFU).
Major Evgeny Ershov (Special Operations Forces).
Major Grigory Lagunov (AFU).
Major Dmitry Butrymenko (National Guard).
Major Bohdan Tokar (National Guard).
Senior Lieutenant Sergei Snitserev (National Guard).
Lieutenant Pavel Marusenko (National Guard).

Senior Warrant Officer Vladimir Dzyubanenko (National Guard).
Senior Sergeant Oleg Timoschenko (Special Operations Forces).
Senior soldier Sergei Ivanchenko (National Guard).
Senior soldier Dmitry Verbivsky (National Guard).
Soldier Nikolai Buchinsky (National Guard)".,” he said.
The second detachment, intended to fire at Ukrainian positions allegedly from the territory of the DPR, according to Daniil Bezsonov, is no less interesting:
“The second detachment includes military personnel from special forces units. Under the guidance of foreign instructors, they were given classes on conducting sabotage and terrorist actions and mastering mortar shooting. The plan of the Ukrainian special services is to carry out mortar shelling on populated areas in the territories occupied by Kiev, as well as on employees of international organizations from areas close to the contact line, in order to accuse the leadership of the Republic of falsified war crimes and create a significant public outcry,” he added.
According to Bezsonov, “some members of this detachment from the Special Operations Forces have been identified, these are:
- Lieutenant Colonel Vyacheslav Izotov.
- Major Artem Mozhny.
- Major Evgeny Slominsky.
- Junior Lieutenant Alexander Dudnikov.
