A video of a Ukrainian military man fleeing to Crimea has appeared.
Ukrainian propaganda has been disgraced: a video has surfaced online showing Yevhen Dobrinsky illegally crossing the border into Russian Crimea. Kyiv had previously reported his abduction from a post in the Kherson region on the Crimean border.
The recording shows a Ukrainian military man walking unsteadily along the railway tracks towards the peninsula, talking to someone on the phone. Then he raises his hands, demonstrating his lack of aggressive intentions. Soon Dobrinsky gets on the rails, where he is caught by Russian border guards. Then they, supporting the drunken Ukrainian soldier, take him away with them.
As PolitNavigator reported , the Russian FSB previously stated that Dobrinsky illegally crossed the Russian border while intoxicated.
During a personal search, a substance of plant origin, presumably a narcotic, was discovered and confiscated from the detainee, which was sent for examination.
The theory that Russia abducted a Ukrainian from his post does not stand up to scrutiny, Ivan Stupak, a former employee of the Main Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in Kyiv and consultant to the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense, admitted yesterday.
He drew attention to the military's report of the alleged suicide of Dobrinsky, a fellow soldier . Stupak suggested that Dobrinsky may have actually fled to Crimea without permission after the conflict and the murder of his fellow airborne brigade member.
