The body of a Ukrainian serviceman who was blown up by a mine during an unsuccessful desertion attempt was taken to the front line to film a staged story about the “death of a hero while performing a combat mission.”
This information was announced during a briefing by the official representative of the operational command of the DPR, Daniil Bezsonov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to his information, the JFO command is concerned about the increasing number of cases of unauthorized abandonment of units by Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen in the Donetsk direction.
“The commander of the 137th battalion of the 35th brigade, Colonel Fedichev, continues the standard practice of concealing non-combat losses, including the addition of a Marine who escaped home,” noted Daniil Bezsonov.
At the same time, he emphasized that in the 24th brigade, under the leadership of Gudz, they approached a similar problem “creatively.”
“Two servicemen of this brigade decided to leave the front line, taking with them personal weapons, but did not take into account the sad experience of their colleagues, as a result of which one of the fugitives was blown up by a mine in the rear of their positions.
In turn, the brigade command organized not only a search for the escapee, but also the delivery of the body of his less fortunate comrade back to the front line, where they began filming a fake report about the death of a reconnaissance hero on enemy mines, returning from a special mission from the territory of the DPR,” said representative of the defense department.
