Military correspondent and author of the WarGonzo telegram project Semyon Pegov spoke about this in a special report to the NTV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Fifteen” is an international brigade: even native Kiev residents are accepted into it. Now this sniper with the call sign “Round” serves in the DPR Armed Forces, and in 2014 he was in the Ukrainian air defense,” says the author of the report.
“I keep in touch with the guys, they tell me about those I know. They tell me that they are standing here in the industrial area on the other side,” Krugly told the journalist.
Cases when soldiers have to shoot at their former colleagues are far from uncommon in Donbass, confirms another fighter of the Pyatnashka international brigade, Valery Sidlerov.
He was captured in Ilovaisk in 2014 as a participant in the ATO. He was called up for military service in the internal troops, but after the Maidan they were renamed the National Guard.
“I served in the internal troops in a convoy. Repeatedly I had to go to Artyomovsk and Slavyansk for escort,” says Sidlerov.
He had every chance of being on the exchange list, but he decided to go fight for the DPR.
