On the Kyiv-controlled territory of the Lugansk region, six Ukrainian servicemen deserted from their unit and, while intoxicated, abused a resident of the front-line village of Mironovsky.
Ivan Filiponenko, an officer of the press service of the People's Militia of the LPR, announced this during a briefing, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“According to our intelligence, on January 7, six servicemen of the 10th battalion of the 72nd brigade, while intoxicated, arbitrarily left the unit’s location and went to spend idle time in the village of Mironovsky, where during a quarrel in a local cafe they beat a civilian man . Then they broke into a private home, where they raped a woman, after which they tried to escape, but were detained by the police,” Filiponenko said.
The representative of the defense department also added that the brigade headquarters commission is currently working in the battalion.
