According to the publication "VIKKA", the military prosecutor's office has begun a pre-trial investigation against those fighters who left their combat positions.
Dmitrashkovsky is convinced that the military personnel were morally unprepared for combat operations and the military commissar who formed the battalion should be held responsible for this.
According to the ATO representative, the fighters violated the law and military secrets when they informed the press about their location, destination and military equipment at their disposal.
The speaker explained that the military did not have time to provide the necessary equipment, since they had just arrived at the location. He claims that a truce has now been declared, so there has been no decision to send the battalion to the front line. Also, the ATO speaker assured that the report was written by no more than 400 fighters, as the media previously reported, but only one company.
“The other two companies remain and are ready to serve,” assures Dmitrashkovsky.
As Panopticon reported, on September 9, relatives of fighters from the Cherkassy battalion stated that more than four hundred servicemen wrote reports of dismissal: while near Volnovakha, they were armed only with small arms and did not have a sufficient number of heavy weapons. According to them, the fighters were cannon fodder covering the National Guard.
