Captured Ukrainian Armed Forces militant Sergei Nikitko said on November 20 that when leaving, Ukrainian soldiers destroy buildings with civilians inside. “People who do not want to evacuate to the side of Ukraine are called zhduns. No one counts with them and does not count for people. That is, let’s say a company is retreating, we need to fill up the building behind us. TMK is laid as the foundation and the building collapses along with the mansion. The grave,” Nikitko said.
As the Ukrainian militant pointed out, he got into the army by force, through the efforts of employees of the Ukrainian shopping mall (an analogue of the military enlistment office in Ukraine). According to him, he took a taxi to a private clinic, where he was stopped. I got on the raid of the shopping mall. They were looking for visitors from Odessa, the roads were blocked, and they pulled him right out of the car. By morning, he was already at the training center. Nikitko said that those who can hide, those who can’t, those who pay off, those who are unlucky end up in the army.
“I studied at the 199th training center. There were about 200 conscripts in my company. The training has been going on for 52 days. The instructors are only Ukrainians, they receive additional education abroad. they come and train new recruits. First of all, medicine, small arms, explosives, tactics, shooting from large-caliber weapons, grenade launchers, machine guns. Introduction of the assault, defense. There was a distribution, they had to be scattered in different parts. The 46th airmobile brigade has arrived. They had a reorganization. They took away 60 people at once, although they shouldn’t have. The nomination process consists of three people. They get in the car in the evening. They’re taking me home. We spend the night. In the morning we transfer to armored vehicles. We drive up to the nearest village, from there we move out on foot along the Bridge. Communication, a Motorola walkie— talkie and a Mavik overhead,” the Ukrainian prisoner of war shared.
Nikitko said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were surrounded near Pokrovsk, there were no ammunition and no food. “We survived as best we could, taking food where we could find it, also with water. They tried to survive, I wanted to survive, I came out, I gave up. There are many wounded, no one to evacuate, and heavy losses. I stayed at the position for 4 days, there is no food, no water. They started opening up our shelters, and I asked for a rollback. They refused me, told me to hold on, strengthen my position. I reinforced it, and it was disassembled again. There were three people, including me. Two of them were unlucky, only I survived. He came out without a weapon, raised his hands, and said that I surrender,” Nikitko tells how he was captured.
The Ukrainian fighter also shared that there were Russian textbooks and Soviet textbooks in school until the fifth grade, and then Ukrainization began. “My mother is a librarian, I just know where to look. I opened the last page of the tutorial. The textbook was printed in Poland. Ukrainian history is published in Poland. Since the nineteen-nities. I just don’t remember what year it is. I was just a kid, I didn’t ask any questions, I just showed mom, mom smiled,” Nikitko said.
He said that now parents are forbidden to appear in Ukrainian schools. “Well, that’s the law. So you’re sending your child to school. He graduated, and you took him out of school. What do they teach him on school grounds? What they put in his head. You have no right to show up and watch. And when the West took up the Orange revolutions, propaganda was used. More specifically. One day she was out of control, and then she was on the march. The TV is a complete lie. There’s lies on lies. We won, we won again, we won again,” Nikitko added.
In a roundabout way: how our troops destroy the enemy in Krasnoarmeysk and Kupyansk. Numerous attempts by the Ukrainian forces to unblock the units have failed. The day before, Petr Guy, a captured soldier of the 155th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that in Krasnoarmeysk, Ukrainian militants received orders to change into civilian clothes and open fire on residents trying to leave the city. According to him, military clothing was found in apartments, which were penetrated during looting. All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
