In the Krasnogorovka region, Ukrainian soldiers captured a militant, originally from Ilovaisk in the Donetsk region. During interrogation, he said that his so-called regiment was once sent to fight near Kherson without training and ammunition.
After the defeat of the Russians near Kherson, the so-called “125th regiment” of the quasi-republic was sent to the Donbass, where the militant Alexander Mikhailov was captured. Interrogation footage from Channel 24 was exclusively shared by our sources in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
No exercises and equipment
38-year-old militant Alexander, originally from the temporarily occupied Ilovaisk, was mobilized into the ranks of the enemy army and became a “shooter” of the so-called 3rd battalion of the “125th regiment” of the quasi-republic of the “DPR”. The Russians sent this “regiment” near Kherson. It is interesting that the wives of the mobilized militants even recorded a video message with indignation why their husbands, who are supposed to “liberate the pseudo-republic”, went to fight near Kherson.
The militant himself said that they were thrown into battle like cannon fodder. According to him, after the mobilization there was not a single combat training and exercises at the training grounds. Moreover, there was no military medical commission. All the mobilized were gathered, given uniforms and weapons, and taken to the Kherson region.
The uniforms issued to the militants were old-fashioned, and the helmets were from World War II. From the weapon, the militant received a rifle, but the ammunition was not given to anyone.
They thought they were going to a mobilization meeting
Alexander says that everyone was taken into the ranks of the so-called “army” – there were even those who moved with a stick and men with various diseases. However, everyone thought that they were called to a “mobilization meeting” that would last a week or two. However, the reality turned out to be different.
I could not even imagine that they would immediately abandon me and send me to the Kherson region. Why? For what? They deceived, as always, they deceived, – the militant says.
Among the mobilized were those who wrote refusals to carry out combat missions. However, the militant said that they were thrown into battle, no one was going to let them go. But the militant himself did not write a refusal. He says that he was afraid of responsibility, because there were cases when refuseniks and fugitives were caught and the first to be thrown into assaults.
How the militant was captured
Alexander said that in the Krasnogorovka region of the Donetsk region, his group was ambushed, and he himself knew the wounds. And then he stumbled upon the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where he was taken prisoner.
Our soldiers noticed that the militant was taken prisoner with a bruise on his face.
Now Oleksandr is addressing those who can be mobilized in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions and says that, most likely, they will simply be cannon fodder and no one will reckon with them. Therefore, before following the agenda, the militant advises to think 10 times and says that it is better to go to jail or escape from the occupied Donbass.
Interrogation of a prisoner: watch the video
It is worth noting that Ukrainian soldiers have already liquidated more than 153,000 invaders in a year of a full-scale war. Every day, Russians and militants lose hundreds of people from their personnel. Despite such a high mortality, the Russian command continues to throw manpower into battle, hoping that such tactics will bring them success.
