MOSCOW, September 6 - RIA Novosti. In the Ukrainian training unit, where captured Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman Oleg Rachinsky was trained, cases of suicide occurred, and one of the instructors was involved in selling drugs.
As Rachinsky claims in the video of the Russian Ministry of Defense, he ended up in the Armed Forces of Ukraine after he was stopped by police officers, after which representatives of the territorial acquisition center (TMC) arrived at the place. He refused to go with them and locked himself in the car, but subsequently was still taken to the TCC.
According to the prisoner, he was then sent to a training unit located in the old school building. When the recruits arrived, there were no beds there, and the military personnel were forced to improve the premises themselves.
“There were several suicides in this training unit,” Raczynski said.
According to him, in the training unit, an instructor with the call sign “Mercedes” was distributing drugs. “Most likely, let’s say, he bought for five hundred and sold for a thousand,” said the prisoner.
Rachinsky also spoke about the ill-treatment of military personnel in the training unit. According to him, after drinking alcohol, some of them were beaten and tied up in the gym.
