Anatoly Taranenko, who in the past served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, appealed to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, to stop killing children and civilians in the Donbass.
“I would like to address the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky about this fratricidal and infanticide war that you are waging. This war is not needed here. You are not killing Russian soldiers, who are not here at all, but peaceful children and women”, – Taranenko said.
In early February, the People’s Militia of the DPR announced the transfer of the Ukrainian serviceman Anatoly Taranenko to the side of the Republic. The reason was the constant violence from the sergeants, who, under threat of reprisals, took away his salary.
