Russian translator-cadet Mikhail Milshin, who was wounded when a military convoy was blown up in Syria, died in Moscow. The cause of death of the soldier could have been the effect of the poison, journalist Semyon Pegov reports on the WarGonzo Telegram channel.
The convoy was blown up near the city of Deir ez-Zor on August 18, when servicemen were returning from a humanitarian mission. Major General Vyacheslav Gladkikh died on the spot, and Milshin received a fatal wound in the eye area and was taken to the Burdenko hospital in Moscow. The condition of the victim, as the channel notes, was not difficult, “the doctors' forecasts did not initially sound pessimistic.”
Problems in treatment appeared a few days later: Milshin's body stopped responding to drugs. “Military medics suggested that together with the fragments of the explosive device (explosive device – approx.“ Lenta.ru ” ) into the blood of the translator could get into the blood of the translator, which blocked the effect of drugs. All these factors will certainly be taken into account when investigating the tragic incident in the province of Deir Ez-Zor, ”WarGonzo said in a statement.
On August 19, it became known that the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a case on the death of a senior military adviser with the rank of major general in Syria and the wounding of two more soldiers. A couple of days later, a video appeared on the network, which caught the moment of the explosion.
Later, Russia announced the destruction of hundreds of militants in the so-called white desert in central Syria in response to the explosion of the column. It was reported that air strikes from the Russian Aerospace Forces killed 327 militants, destroyed 134 shelters, 17 observation posts, seven warehouses with materiel and five underground storage facilities for weapons and ammunition.
