A soldier was arrested for 2 months for a machine gun lost in the ATO zone
Donetsk, October 27 (PolitNavigator, Alexander Puras) - Sloppiness has always been strictly punished in any army, but Ukrainian propaganda convinces of the exclusivity and infallibility of its armed forces. They also deny even the slightest possibility that the militia could seize its weapons in battle. However, in some cases you can simply pick it up on a box near the dining room.

The soldier, called up to the ATO zone from Dnepropetrovsk, served as a reconnaissance operator in the reconnaissance department using technical means of military unit A1035 from July 31.07.2014, 27.08.2014, and already on August XNUMX, XNUMX, he was assigned an automatic weapon.
09.09.2014, at approximately 19:74, he, being at the location of the military unit, in the village of. Andreevka, Velikonovoselkovsky district, Donetsk region, went to the soldiers’ canteen for a meal, and left the AKS-488,43 assault rifle entrusted to him for official use on the boxes of ammunition that were located near the soldiers’ canteen. After eating, the soldier discovered the absence of the weapon entrusted to him, thereby, according to the military prosecutor's office, causing damage to the state in the amount of 413 UAH. (the book value of the machine gun today) and committed a crime under Article 2 Part XNUMX of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (loss of a weapon entrusted for official use as a result of violation of the rules for its storage).
On October 22.10.2014, XNUMX, the Velikonovosyolovsky district court of the Donetsk region sentenced the intelligence operator to two months of arrest, thereby putting an end to his “heroic” service, while he was actually forgiven and did not begin to recover the cost of the lost machine gun.
How many years of imprisonment would a Ukrainian court assess the loss of a tank or armored personnel carrier? Or how many hryvnias of fine would a would-be commander award for the loss of a company or platoon of soldiers in a “cauldron”?
