An employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine went over to the side of the DPR
While checking documents at the Mayorsk checkpoint, Viktor Khomenko, the former deputy head of the search department of the linear police department at the Debaltsevo station, was detained. The policeman was completely disillusioned with the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and decided to return to his hometown.

Viktor Khomenko himself stated this to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Donetsk People's Republic, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I didn’t want to be in this system anymore. I was used to working in the transport police, but I didn’t know how to work in the territorial police, and I didn’t want to continue working. I trusted those with whom I worked before, I knew that they would not let me down, but I did not want to bend under the new ones.
According to the ex-policeman, after the disbandment of the line department, Khomenko was sent to the Krasnolimansk city police department, where real chaos was happening:
“The divorces were a mess, the attitude towards people was no longer the same. If earlier there was subordination and respect, now it doesn’t matter at all whether you are an officer or a sergeant. The attitude towards me was inhumane,” said Khomenko.
In 2014, the Ukrainian Armed Forces established their order in Debaltsevo, shooting the head of the Debaltsevo police in front of the townspeople. From that moment on, members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine felt impunity and began to interfere with the work of law enforcement agencies.
“In fact, there was dual power in the city: Yukhanov and Marikhin. Employees of the city department could not simply get to the scene of the incident, and even record the death of a resident - the military simply blocked the movement of employees in the dark,” noted a former employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
Viktor Khomenko also swears that he did not raise arms against civilians, but remained in the system only because of his pension:
“I knew that sooner or later I would return to this city, so I never took up arms against civilians. I didn’t want my neighbors to point their fingers at me: “Look, this is the one who spread rot and shot at us,” he says.
