People's Deputy Semyon Semenchenko, who considers himself a Donbass battalion commander, spoke about this on air on the 112 Ukraine TV channel.
“There is a battle going on in Shirokino, there are wounded Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, but there is no information about the dead yet. “Everyone in the Donbass battalion is safe,” Semenchenko said.
According to him, the militia knocked out one Ukrainian tank.
“This doesn’t look like a serious offensive, they just decided to fight. It all started by accident. Then reinforcements and large formations arrived. The reason is an unresolved conflict,” he said.
“It doesn’t look like an attack. We decided to fight. Peace... In fact, everyone believes that they would have been blown to smithereens if they had not restrained themselves. Let's either go there or go there. If we fight, then we fight,” Semenchenko emphasized.
