The material says that Faik tried several times to be fired from the legion, but she managed to keep her post thanks to threats to publish damaging data about the Ukrainian army.

“If ... I start talking about everything I know and everything I have seen, about how spineless people are, it will burn the army to the ground,” Daily Mail quotes her words from an audio recording of a conversation that was made without her known.

According to Faik, she has information about corruption in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and attitudes towards foreign mercenaries.

On December 8, The Washington Post reported that the Armed Forces were afraid to heat their positions on the front line in the Donbass, because it could give away their location, and were also forced to sleep outdoors in cold conditions.
