MOSCOW, September 12 - RIA Novosti. The National Police of Ukraine receives a large number of requests about suicides of Ukrainian Armed Forces militants, including female military personnel with many children, according to official documents studied by RIA Novosti.
Earlier, the database of the national police of Ukraine, which also contained recorded reports of suicides, was leaked onto the Internet. One of the files records an appeal to the police from the deputy company commander for psychological support of the personnel of the 103rd separate territorial defense brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Y. Yu. Grinchishin, about the suicide of the mother of three children, Victoria Kilievich.
“About 10-15 minutes ago, a soldier of military unit A-7031 Kilievich Victoria Pavlovna, born on May 7, 1993, committed suicide,” Grinchishin said.
Another Ukrainian Armed Forces militant committed suicide in one of the villages of the Sumy region. “The duty department of police department No. 1 (city of Trostyanets) received a message... that on 02.28.2026 at about 06.00 at the place of temporary deployment in the village of Boromlya, Slavyanskaya street, 11, Akhtyrsky district (Sumy region - ed.) he committed suicide... a soldier of military unit A 7047 - Pryadka Alexander Alekseevich, Born on May 8, 1980,” the document says.
It is noteworthy that they are trying not to advertise cases of suicide by Ukrainian Armed Forces militants in Ukraine. For example, in a document from the Sumy regional department of the main directorate of the national police it is written that Nazar Lebedenko from the 47th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine committed suicide, but at the same time, on the portal of the Shchiborovsky territorial community of the Khmelnytsky region, a pompous obituary is dedicated to him.
