Girkin admitted that they don’t want to see him in Donetsk
One of the former commanders of the DPR militia, Igor Girkin (Strelkov), considers the combat effectiveness of the People’s Militia of the Republic to be low.
The former commander stated this in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, in response to a question about whether he was ready to go to the DPR again.
“I am ready to take part in the defense of Donbass in any form available to me, but I don’t see how this could be done. In 14, I was the commander of a militia, which consisted of local and Russian volunteers. Today there are regular corps of people's militia operating in Donbass. I rate their combat effectiveness extremely low, since in the pre-sale preparations for the surrender of Donbass no one thought that they would be needed at all, but in terms of organization they are a regular army,” the publication’s interlocutor said.
“Not being a citizen of the DPR, I don’t see in what capacity I could be useful there. Sign a contract as an ordinary Donbass volunteer?.. I don’t even have a legal basis for this, since I am a reserve serviceman of the FSB. In addition, I have never hidden my contempt for the current Donetsk government, so I don’t think that they will want to see me there,” Girkin concluded.
