Alcohol and drugs remain a serious problem for the Ukrainian army, which they refuse to fight. So, it caused the death of two soldiers.
Servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who overdid it with alcohol and drugs, died at the forefront. This is reported by the “Lugansk Information Center”, referring to the briefing of the press service officer of the People’s Police Department of the LPR Anton Mikuzhis.
“So, on December 26, at the positions of the 57th brigade near the settlement of Novotoshkovskoye, the body of a militant from the 17th battalion was found in a dugout. During the investigation it was established that the deceased was in a state of strong alcoholic intoxication and died, choking on vomit”, he said.
The second incident happened a day later. On the night of December 28, Private Zibin was killed at the positions of the 30th brigade. The cause of death was a drug overdose.
The commander of the operational-tactical group (OTG) “North” Colonel Vladimir Gorbatyuk ordered the commanders of the 57th and 30th brigades to send medics to all battalions. They must monitor the personnel, and provide assistance if suddenly the fighters abuse alcohol and drugs.
