AFU servicemanGORODISCHE (LPR), Apr 3The Ukrainian military, who handed over their weapons, told in Gorodishche (Luhansk People's Republic) how the command put 23 people against the tanks, and then recommended calling a taxi. a Ukrainian National Guardsman who laid down his arms, who served at a post in Gorodishche in the LPR, heard Russian tanks go to the checkpoint. relatives and friends. One of the military is a soldier of the Ukrainian army, Ruslan, he is a driver. He and his partner were seconded to a checkpoint where the National Guard of Ukraine was stationed, and were supposed to blow up the bridge in Gorodishche, an important infrastructure facility that both civilians and military equipment travel across. The second — the commander of the checkpoint, Maxim, he is from the National Guard, knew about the tactical plan. Both surrendered voluntarily, literally walking «through the forests» for about 5 days, starving and frostbitten their legs.What Russia should do with Ukraine “Undermine,” Ruslan says when asked what order was given regarding the bridge. To clarifying questions about why it was necessary to undermine the bridge, he replied that he did not know — «the task has been set», it must be fulfilled. To complete the task, they had explosives. He really may not know this, since he was in charge — a lieutenant (he died after they left the base), and the order to undermine the bridge should have been given to him. According to him, it was not possible to blow up the bridge, because their checkpoint «began to be covered» (with artillery — ed.), and the lieutenant gave the command to withdraw in order to save people's lives. «We ourselves surrendered. We were without food for five days. There was nowhere to go «, — he said. «They gave me a call to my relatives once. He said that he was alive, healthy, in captivity. Nobody offends. Everything is fine,» he added in response to the offer to say hello to his relatives. In the future, Ruslan said, he does not plan to serve in the army — if he is exchanged, he will go as a driver.View from Kyiv: in Ukraine they are openly talking about plans to cut Russian children According to him, they left the post after they heard the rumble of tanks from Russia. They left, including because, as he said, “we never fought, and we don’t know how it’s done, we didn’t have such equipment either.” He clarified that they surrendered on February 28 due to the fact that they had been without food for several days — with frostbitten legs. Maxim spoke about the «inappropriate order» of the command: «We were told to hold the line, but I considered this order of Comrade Lieutenant Colonel Levanda inappropriate. We decided escape from this checkpoint. I wanted to save the life of the personnel.» This prisoner also confirmed the words of his comrade that they are not being beaten now and are being treated well, and also said hello to his wife, son and mother. According to him, on February 23, before the start of the special operation, in Belovodsk (a city in the Luhansk region) there was a police checkpoint, he was removed from there. In Rassvet, he added, Ukrainian troops were stationed, they were also removed from there in a day. The frontier post in Gorodishche left a day before the offensive. Only the positions of the National Guard remained in this area (where he himself served). «They did not encourage anything, the last phrase sounded on February 26 like this:» I have nothing to help you with, call yourself a taxi and get there as you want, «he said in response to a question what the command told them after the order to «keep the line» After that, he, in his words, experienced «a feeling of resentment, a feeling of anger, because they managed to leave, and we had to stay here.»
