Militia commanders of the city Snow Donetsk region of Ukraine took a decision to release 3 of the Ukrainian prisoners who got into their hands. But before that former prisoners have told their stories of Last news .
" We liked the way He behaved. With dignity. Not cried like most, " explains commander With the Callsign " Samurai ", why the militia decided to release Ukrainian paratrooper Sergey Kuzmenko.
When Sergey tells the story of how He was captured, Vsplyvaet feeling, it's a scene From the movie about Civil. However, presumably, it is - the events in Ukraine have become civil, fratricidal war.
A year earlier the 24-year-old private Kuzmenko lived in Zaporozhye, brought up four sons and studied at the most peaceful profession - cook-confectioner. Then he was called into the army, He fell 79-th Nikolaev brigade of the airborne forces.
" in may We were Sent to the front. Said the fight will Not just civilian population to protect, " He recalls.
However in practice all turned out much Worse. The team Together With the other parts (72-th and 25-th brigades, battalions of nazvanie) came to the Militia in the environment. Its aim Was to cut the territory controlled by militias - the city of Donetsk, Makeyevka, Snow, Lugansk - from the Russian border. Troops and the national guard under began to move along the border, methodically " slicing " the territory of the DND and creating along the border of the " corridor ", by which the security forces would receive reinforcements and supplies From the rear.
However offensive sank - forces of militia were too high.
Worse still coming was surrounded, " southern boiler ", as they call It in the headquarters of the militia. Dropcam turned out to cut the " corridor " near the village Marinovka and cut coming from the main force. With Kurgan Saur-Grave militias began methodically shot " South boiler " From artillery and to come, one by one taking settlements - Stepanovka, Dmitrovka, Dibrovka.
" one night We were shelled by " Grad " very much. Wounded two guys, " recalls Kuzmenko. He was ordered to take them to the site, controlled by security forces. Neither the map Nor the GPS him, the guy is local and Not really knowing these places, Not given - " said, go right, there will be met ". Sergei handed over their weapons and went.
It was two o'clock, Sergey quickly got lost. Popatlal on country roads, He went to the checkpoint and Saw With horror St. George ribbons on the Camos those at the roadblock was on duty. But paratrooper Not confused." The wounded From the battle writing ", - He answered honestly, and it Was the truth. Not having reviewed the Ukrainian form the Wounded militiamen missed the car and Even explained how to get to the hospital.
" It turned out, after all this Snow. Doctors many problems do Not have to ask guys issued to the wounded was in the habit already, " says Kuzmenko.
However on the way back at the roadblock he nevertheless decided to test documents. Having heard that before them Ukrainian paratrooper, militia Him tied.
in captivity He spent a week. His Commanders did Not Even try to contact him and find out His fate." No longer Willing to fight. Then I realized how pointless it is. Saw that against Us fight our citizens of Ukraine. Here, in the Snow, he Saw destroyed by artillery house (fired fifteen July in the Snow eleven people were killed, 2-year-old child died from injuries in hospital, - editor). I Saw the peaceful population, who do Not treat Us as liberators, and are ready to kill Us ", - says Sergey.
Now He's going to go home and " to refer to the military enlistment office own Voenny ". The militia He promised Not to fight." Need some peace be solved, " believes Now paratrooper Sergey.
in the city We visit the clinic guys He was brought here. At the entrance to the hospital " Samurai " orders Us to shut up - it turns out, in the clinic, in addition to a pair of doctors, No one knows who fought for wounded soldiers." they have a problem may be, if local learn that They are Ukrainians", " comments " Samurai ". Even imposing a commander cannot protect prisoners from people's anger.
the simply-furnished house find Another commando (third did Not want to talk for fear of issues at home) - a former glass cutter, a 31-year-old Denis Denisenko From the city of Belaya Tserkov, Kiev region.
" the day I'm on the BMP 1st time sat down. Sent in a convoy in the area Marinovka We came under fire. The BMP has burnt down ", - says Denis circumstances of his heavy damage of an organism in hand.
" Shell us very hard. From all of my unit survived 1 citizen - I ", says Denisenko. To retreat From the " boiler " command prohibits, step does Not work. Ammunition, food and Even water, too, is almost there. To surrender scary.
" When I learned that We are in captivity, they were shocked, of course, for his life. We have about militias all sorts of horrors tell, " He admits. But Now the attitude is " normal, " says the trooper.
" We comply with the Convention on prisoners of war, " comments " Samurai ". Suddenly having been deeply touched, He says, " now for Kuzmenko parents come. We have also released. Will you go With him." Denis seems Not believe his luck.
Soon the courtyard of city military Commissariat, which militias have turned in their own camping, car comes With 2 men - a father and uncle Sergey Kuzmenko. They are embracing their " captive ", shake your hand " Samurai ".
" The more We don't get caught ", - He directs guys. They promise Not to fight.
