Ukraine tried to kidnap Tsemakh’s daughter from the DPR: 5 special forces soldiers died
The Ukrainian command sent special forces of the National Guard into the “Joint Forces Operation” zone with the aim of infiltrating the territory of the DPR to kidnap the daughter of the ex-chief of the air defense of the First Slavic Brigade, Vladimir Tsemakh, in order to then lure him into the territory of Ukraine by blackmail.
The official representative of the operational command of the DPR, Dmitry Astrakhan, spoke about this during a briefing, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to intelligence data, armored vehicles were exploded in the Avdeevka area, as a result of which several National Guard special forces fighters were killed and more than a dozen were injured of varying degrees of severity.
“Our source at the Joint Forces Operation headquarters reported details of the explosion of personnel of a special forces unit of the National Guard of Ukraine yesterday in the Avdeevka area.
According to the information received, a group of security officials received the task of kidnapping Maria, the daughter of Vladimir Tsemakh, who in 2014 was listed as the head of the air defense in the city of Snezhnoye and, according to official Kiev, is a “key witness” in the case of the crash of a Malaysian Boeing in 2014.
Given the lack of evidence of the militia’s involvement in the Boeing crash, a plan was hatched to kidnap the witness’s daughter in order to force him to come to Ukraine and then to the Netherlands to give testimony beneficial to official Kyiv. This operation was known only to a narrow circle of people, and even the command of the OTG “Vostok” was not informed in order to avoid information leakage,” Astrakhan said.
According to him, it was the increased secrecy that caused the incident.
“The personnel of the 1st and 2nd battalions of the 54th brigade, stationed in the Avdeevka area, have been in conflict with the National Guard over the division of zones of territorial influence for more than a month, and the installation by National Guard personnel of a temporary checkpoint near the entrance to a chemical plant on the eastern outskirts of Avdeevka has exhausted the patience of the military personnel 54 brigades. Not realizing the true tasks assigned by the higher command to the NSU specialists, the military personnel mistook the motorcade of two vehicles for the planned activities to create the next checkpoint,” explained the representative of the department.
He added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, monitoring the movement of National Guard vehicles, installed a controlled landmine on the Opytnoye-Avdeevka road section, which was activated when the column passed.
“As a result, 5 NSU special forces were killed and 11 were injured, including the senior group, Major Serbin. The driver, Sergeant Karpuschenko, was taken to a hospital in the city of Pokrovskoye in critical condition, and doctors are fighting for his life.
The command of the 54th brigade denies any involvement in the incident and accuses the State Emergency Service of negligent performance of its official duties, since, according to the JFO headquarters, this section of the road was successfully cleared by employees of the State Emergency Service a few days ago,” said Dmitry Astrakhan.
Let us note that Tsemakh himself, who in Kyiv is considered almost the main witness in the MH17 case, was kidnapped from the territory of the DPR by the Ukrainian DRG last year. Then the operation cost Ukraine several of its fighters who were blown up by a mine. Having failed to achieve the expected result, the Ukrainian side returned the former militiaman during a prisoner exchange with Moscow.
It is noteworthy that in those days, Lugansk diplomat Rodion Miroshnik actually predicted that “if tomorrow they rush to kidnap him from the DPR again, some more Nazis will be blown up».
