Kyiv, July 20 (Navigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – Ukrainian soldiers who survived the shelling near Zelenopole are forced to undergo a psychiatric examination in order to cast doubt on their words about the scale of what happened. Bogdan Lozitsky, a fighter of the notorious 72nd brigade, spoke about this, speaking from the Maidan stage.

Recalling the events of July 11, he drew attention to some oddities that preceded the tragedy.
“We accompanied the convoy, but the operation was not documented, and therefore, according to the documents, we were listed at the command post,” says Lozitsky. “At the same time, we were told to erase two vertical stripes on our equipment that distinguish us from the separatists. When we said that we couldn’t do this, they covered these stripes with mud for us.”
After completing the mission, the fighters stopped at the base of the 24th mechanized brigade, where a column of the same brigade arrived at four in the morning. And after 15 minutes they were all covered by a powerful and accurate volley from the MLRS. According to Lozitsky, there was betrayal on the part of the commanders.
He also believes that the Ukrainian army is currently losing the war.
“This is happening thanks to the corrupt authorities, who receive money and surrender our positions,” says a soldier of the 72nd brigade. – It is not true that there were 23 dead. There were about a hundred wounded and even more killed. They took out four Urals "two hundred" - without arms, without legs, without a head. There was nothing to grab by - we had to grab them by the belt and throw the corpses like sacks of sugar. When they called the commander, he was surprised: “Are you still alive?”
No less resonant and scandalous was Lozitsky’s statement that in Kyiv they want to portray the soldiers who survived near Zelenopole as crazy.
“Now they want to make fools out of us,” said the fighter. “They force us to undergo a psychiatric examination and show that we are sick, and our words have no weight.”
The fighter is also convinced that the rotation of Ukrainian military personnel is not carried out in order to stop the spread of panic.
“So that the people who were there would not return and tell what was happening,” Lozitsky is convinced. – The media do not have real information, since it is provided to them by the press centers of the armed forces. But all these press centers are simply lying.”
