The “Right Sector” generally has a bird’s rights in its positions in Donbass, the publication notes. “His fighters, as a rule, are not included in general loss reports. The death of Vasyl Slipak could lead to another Ukrainian internal political crisis. The ground has already been prepared: on June 11, heavy artillery of the DPR covered the positions of the Ukrainians at the Butovka mine, a shell hit the mine pit and killed the soldiers who were hiding there from the shelling. One shell killed 4 Right Sector fighters at once, there were many wounded, the whole of Ukraine discussed the situation. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s loss reports at the end of the day did not include the Right Sectors. No one commented on the situation with the death of these soldiers; the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense announced the creation of a commission that was supposed to find out what these people with weapons were doing there. Now an unofficial fighter “with a worldwide reputation” has died, but he is also not in the reports.”
At the same time, the newspaper notes that it is convenient to use volunteers who are not listed in official units in a real war, since fighters who formally do not exist on paper do not violate the Minsk agreements.
