Poroshenko's TV channel on the front line provoked a fight between Ukrainian soldiers
An attempt by Ukrainian Channel 5 propagandists to film a piece of staged shelling in the Donbass ended with a jaw and eye injury for one of the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This was reported by the press service of the People's Militia of the LPR, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“With the task of increasing the prestige of military service, as well as to prepare materials to discredit the LPR NM, a Channel 30 film crew arrived in the area of responsibility of the 5th brigade. Media representatives demanded the organization of provocative shelling of the positions of the People's Militia in order to record return fire.
After chief petty officer Levitsky refused, the correspondents turned to a serviceman of the 3rd battalion, Chornei, who, for a monetary reward, agreed to simulate shooting in the direction of the operator and, thereby, violate the ceasefire,” the report says.
According to the department, the incident ended in a fight and the expulsion of the propagandists.
“The plan was thwarted by Levitsky, who, having learned about the preparation of a provocation, dealt Chornei several blows to the face and asked the correspondents to leave the filming location. Chornei was sent to the unit’s medical center with an injury to the jaw and eye, which he received, according to him, due to personal negligence as a result of falling from the roof while carrying out repair work on the roof of a private household,” the press service reported.
