"There has never been such a war"
Responsect of the Union of Committee of Soldiers' Mothers - about the Russian military in Ukraine
Executive Secretary of the Union of Committee of Soldiers' Mothers Valentin Melnikova claims: now in Ukraine - about four thousand Russian military. You can not find any information about the dead, but the fact that Russian soldiers died in Ukraine, Melnikova considers a proven fact.
Melnikova told the Novaya Gazeta observer Elena Masyuk that the words about fragmentation wounds in the notification of the death of soldiers almost always mean death in battle - you will not receive such injuries. According to the mill, the conversations that the Russian military are fighting in the east of Ukraine “during vacation” have no reason: a soldier on vacation should register, “mark”.
In addition, Melnikova believes that in the Russian army, with the advent of the new Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu, violence reappeared. Melnikova believes: apparently, the officers did not receive from the new leadership of the Ministry of Defense strictly punished not to beat people. According to her, the soldiers are beaten by young officers - senior lieutenants, captains, company, battalion.
“All these excuses are simply delusional. This is some other war. There has never been such a war on our part. This is a war about which no one wants to understand, even those who have relatives died or were wounded, that this is a reality ... "
