Non-combat casualties of Ukrainian army in operation in Donbas exceed 1,000
The non-combat casualties of the Ukrainian army during the anti-terrorist operation in eastern Ukraine exceed 1,000 people, Anatoliy Matios, deputy prosecutor general and chief military prosecutor of Ukraine, said.
"I will now give you the number of non-combat irretrievable and sanitary casualties of the Ukrainian army. Three regiments. Over 1,000 people; it's non-combat casualties in the anti-terrorist operation. Friendly fire, careless handling of weapons, crippling dealing to death, cerebral palsy, alleged heart diseases," Matios said in an interview posted on the official website of the chief military prosecutor.
He said this situation is due to the approach practice in some military medical commissions where conscripts re examined by doctors.
Matios said 54 people from the Aidar battalion have been prosecuted for crimes, including assault and robbery, and the Tornado battalion "had to be stopped using military methods."
