Sergey Korotkikh, the intelligence commander of the regiment "Azov", confessed to war crimes committed by the Ukrainian military in Donbass.
Korotkikh started on the air of Savik Shuster's talk show a dispute with a Ukrainian journalist who insisted that many of the ATO participants had transgressed the law.
'Your understanding of the front is slightly different from mine. You come there to have what to write about, make a beautiful selfie and get your share of PR.
You're talking about some kind of criminals. In your liberal environment, there is a concept of "people with criminal thinking". Sometimes they are people with a keen sense of justice.
When came the conflict of 2014, a lot of people who could not find themselves in everyday life, got to the front. Once someone of them was in some bands or tried, someone beat someone somewhere, maybe, even shot, brought into the forest and buried. But it was there on the front that those 2% gave 95% of the results,' said the member of the "Azov".
He also commented on the accusations of illegal seizures of cars from residents of Donbass.
'Who cares if there were a thousand cars taken away. Those cars were not taken away from some farmers. As a rule, a car was taken away after something was found in it - weapons, the DPR literature,' said Korotkikh.
'I can say that in the US Army there is such a thing as a trophy souvenir,' he added.
'I will reveal a terrible secret about Mariupol, for which Poroshenko distributes medals. In the storming of Mariupol, there were only 2 people from the AFU. Out of the 200 people only two had the status of cops, and the remaining 196 were people without status. They killed those who legally were Ukrainian citizens, they illegally had weapons. Let's put them all to prison,' said Korotkikh.
