“We have losses. Three guys died, died heroically. One was born in 1980, the second was born in 1986, and the third was born in 1995. One from the Kherson region, and two from the Dnepropetrovsk region. 95 – even unmarried,” said a representative of the brigade.
Clarifying the circumstances of the death of Ukrainian servicemen, he said that one of the soldiers was wounded at the position.
“His comrades went to help him, but were also fired upon. It so happened that all three of them died saving their comrade, brother-in-law. To avoid being captured, one even mined himself, but it didn’t come to that: the wounds turned out to be incompatible with life,” says Lyubchenko.
At the same time, the official representative of the People's Militia of the LPR, Andrei Marochko, reported earlier that the incident occurred on May 1, when, in the area of the Svetlodar Bulge, a sabotage group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, consisting of four people, attempted to covertly cross the line of combat contact.
“Using forest plantations, the saboteurs tried to penetrate deep into our territory in the direction of Debaltseve, but were discovered by soldiers of one of the observation posts of the People’s Militia,” Marochko said, adding that as a result of the fleeting battle, three members of the DRG were killed, and the fourth was wounded and disappeared.
It is worth noting that the LPR demonstrated the corpses of Ukrainian soldiers and weapons seized at the site of their death, which refutes the statements of the Ukrainian side about the death of military personnel in their positions.
