As Marochko noted, the ranks of the Ukrainian security forces are extremely heterogeneous.
“Naturally, I talked with captured servicemen of the armed formations of Ukraine (VFU) and here they need to be divided into certain categories.
There are those who are mobilized, and they did not want to fight, but they were fraudulently dragged into the line of contact.
As a rule, such people give up in the first place, ”he said.
According to him, among the Ukrainian security forces there are also counter-soldiers who serve for more than a year and rarely surrender.
“They also go over to our side, but in small numbers.
In order to cross, some had to liquidate their commanders, because they categorically forbade surrender.
Well, there is a third category - the so-called mercenaries, radicals and Nazis.
Everything is bad there: there is a dope in my head, there is absolutely no understanding of what is happening.
They act as detachments on the line of contact.
Very often, the Vesushniks themselves liquidated these groups,” he noted.
Marochko stressed that skirmishes and confrontations are constantly taking place between the AFU and nationalists.
So, for example, in Rubizhne, as one of the captured Ukrainian soldiers said, the nationalists tried to force the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to shoot about 30 civilians.
The servicemen refused to do this, for which they were disarmed and sent to the basement for detention.
Earlier, Marochko said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are suffering serious losses.
