Ukrainian security forces captured one defender of the Lugansk People’s Republic. A sabotage and reconnaissance group (DRG) of the Special Operations Forces (MTR) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine entered its territory.
This is reported by the “Lugansk Information Center”, referring to the official representative of the People’s Militia of the LPR Ivan Filiponenko. The incident took place on December 27. In the republic’s defense department, the actions of the DRG were called “an act of aggression” by Kiev.
Filiponenko added that traces of struggle and blood were found at the place of abduction of the LPR People’s Police fighter. It is obvious that violent actions were used against him.
“According to our information, at the moment physical and moral pressure is being applied against the kidnapped serviceman, as well as prohibited medicines are used to force him to give false testimony and create an evidence base in order to justify the criminal actions of Ukrainian militants,” Filiponenko said.
He also drew attention to the fact that the scenario almost completely repeats the previous abduction, when the Ukrainian security forces seized an employee of the LPR representative office in the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire Regime.
