Kiev servicemen refuse to take part in combat operations in Donbass. They have not been paid their promised salaries and benefits
This was reported by Ivan Filiponenko, official representative of the LNR People’s Militia. Soldiers of several brigades do not want to go to Donbass.
Personnel of the 46th and 95th brigades had to solve the problems of incompleteness in the 79th brigade. However, the soldiers do not agree with the command’s plan.
“In turn, there is heightened social tension in the aforementioned units due to the refusal of soldiers to go to Donbass, up to and including dismissal from the ranks of the AFU. Paratroopers argue their reluctance to go to the war zone and risk their lives because the state fails to fulfill its obligations on additional payments and provision of benefits”, – Filiponenko said.
As of today, the 79th brigade is unable to carry out combat tasks. LNR People’s Militia noted that shelling and provocations in Stanicho-Lugansk and Shchastia directions decreased significantly against this background.
