“The senior man at this redoubt is a veteran with the call sign Boguslav. Snake, Chest and Abdula live in the tent with him. Just like at the front, they prefer to make do with call signs. Boguslav served in the Donbass battalion from 2014 to 2016. Then he underwent rehabilitation and was involved in social activities. I was going to sign a contract with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but changed my mind,” the publication says.
“Friends called me and said that instead of fighting they were having drill training there,” Boguslav said in his defense. “It’s the third year of the war, and they’re whitewashing the curbs.” This is ineffective. Here, during the blockade, I will be more useful to the country. Here we can stop the war, but not at the front. Until the leadership of the country changes, the war will not be won.”
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, soldiers of the 9th territorial defense battalion from the Vinnytsia region, explaining their reluctance to fight, said that local residents in Donbass they call them “dill” and show fakes”.
