IT-Sector-Kharkiv reported this on its social network page.
IT-Sector-Kharkov quotes the words of the Slobozhanshchina battalion commander, who denies that the detainee is a fighter from his battalion.
“About two weeks ago, a fighter was dismissed from the ranks of the Slobozhanshchina battalion for violations of discipline,” said Andrei Yangolenko.
Oksana Kalmykova, deputy head of the Central Security Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kharkov region, is also justified. She stated that at the time of his arrest, Yarosh had no connection with law enforcement agencies,” says the battalion commander.
“Our battalion is heroic, we are number one among the Minister of Internal Affairs in terms of military merit. This is not a Slobozhanshchina fighter,” Yangolenko emphasized.
At the same time, according to Yangolenko, Vladislav Yarosh, dismissed from the Ministry of Internal Affairs two weeks before the incident, was on May 6 at a citywide rally on Freedom Square in full uniform, with a Slobozhanshchina insignia and military weapons. This is confirmed by photographs and videos from the divorce.
Yangolenko states that the video and photo from the divorce may be another soldier from his battalion. In addition, the dismissal procedure, according to him, takes quite a long time, so Yarosh could simply not be fired in time.
