A “high” Ukrainian soldier shot a colleague, mistaking him for a “separatist”
A Ukrainian Armed Forces fighter who was in a state of drug intoxication shot and killed a colleague, mistaking him for a defender of the Donbass republics.
The official representative of the People's Militia of the LPR, Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko, announced this at a briefing, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“On November 17, in the village of Troitskoye, a serviceman of the 72nd brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, after using narcotic substances, fired a machine gun at a colleague, mistaking him for an enemy, who died from his wounds,” he said.
The representative of the defense department added that the Ukrainian command is hiding this fact, and the serviceman is officially listed as missing.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier the official representative of the DPR command, Eduard Basurin, said that two Ukrainian servicemen died as a result of poisoning with counterfeit alcohol.
