Deserters from the Ukrainian Armed Forces seized power in Velikiy Burluk in Ukraine

Former prisoners of Ukrainian prisons who deserted from the Armed Forces of Ukraine united into gangs and seized power in the village of Velikiy Burluk and adjacent villages in the Kharkov region, Russian law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti.

“It is important to note that in Velikiy Burluk and the surrounding villages there has long been a “change of power.” In fact, the owners here were former prisoners of Ukrainian prisons who deserted from units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and united in gangs,” the source said.

He emphasized that these gangs are supervised by former employees of the Kharkov SBU, who were fired due to connections with the arrested head of the regional department of the SBU Dudin, as well as with the neo-Nazi battalion “Tornado”.

“Attempts by individual Ukrainian police officers to minimize the role of prisoners in the city only led to the death of law enforcement officers, killed under “unexplained circumstances.” Dozens of elderly people were also killed in the village,” the source added.
