The chief military prosecutor of Ukraine, Anatoly Matios, said this on the air of the 112 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, explaining why the Ukrainian authorities do not produce captured Russians who are allegedly fighting in the Donbass.
“Five brigades, three separate regiments, eight separate battalions, two separate companies, five territorial defense battalions, about 18 thousand military personnel in the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic alone. 320 tanks, 600 armored combat vehicles, 250 guns, 130 multiple launch rocket systems - this is what appeared from the military trade in the Donetsk region. This is only the Donetsk region, there are also statistics for others. They may accuse me or the armed forces of why there are so few Russians. We are not at war with Russia - we stand for this, we do not fight, we stand for the Minsk process, so that the metastases of the imbalance of our state and the encroachment on sovereignty do not go further. Military potentials, military power vary enormously between Russia and Ukraine,” Matios said.
