The soldiers involved in special operations in the Donbass battalion "Aidar" held a rally near the building of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine with a demand to dismiss the Deputy General Prosecutor - the chief military Prosecutor Anatoly Matios, reports on Wednesday, the Ukrainian news Agency.

The picketers, most of whom were dressed in camouflage uniforms, were holding national flags and banners of the battalion. Under the walls of the office picketers brought car tires.

"Aidarova" beat in iron barrels and speeches, where he called for the resignation of the chief military Prosecutor and the investigation of his activities in office. On the walls and Windows of the building they pasted a poster with caricatured image Matios.

The protesters claim that the appointment of Anatoliy Matios to the post of chief military Prosecutor began to discredit and unwarranted pressure on the soldiers of the battalion, located in the area of special operations.

According to the active participants, it all started with the arrest of one of the soldiers of the 51st brigade, which just happened to come out alive from the "boiler" on the borderline with Russia. And not so long ago on suspicion of desertion were imprisoned five scouts " Aydar ".

in a special operation in the Donbass, the soldiers of the army of Ukraine, involved about a half-dozen battalions, which are financed from private sources. Some of them (the battalions " Azov ", " Aidar ", " Donbass ", "Dnepr-1" and "Dnepr-2" ), according to media reports, is funded by oligarch Igor Kolomoisky. The Ukrainian authorities want battalions fought from official armed forces.
