According to him, three young people celebrated their anniversary in the village of Chongar, Kherson region. At the end of the celebration, they called a taxi and headed home, but at a checkpoint set up before the entrance to Novoalekseevka they were stopped by a representative of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“The VSU officer was drunk and began to behave inappropriately, pointing the machine gun at these people. They, in turn, didn’t like this either, and they got out of the car, punched this Armed Forces officer in the face, took the machine gun, ran to the checkpoint, asked if anyone else needed to have a preventive conversation, and left there with the machine gun.
One of the most powerful armies in Europe, you say? But in reality, unarmed civilians take away their machine guns. There are CCTV cameras at the checkpoint, and they identified those who took the machine gun.
The authorities came to these guys’ home, took the machine gun back, put out the cognac and asked that this topic not be spread anywhere,” Sivak noted.
