"All officers who are to be sent to fight in the temporarily occupied territories undergo control in this unit as if through a filter. According to Volodymyr Starkov [the Russian officer captured in Donbas on July 25 by the Ukrainian border guards while he was driving a truck packed with ammo], he witnessed three officers refusing to go here [to Donbas] and follow orders, because these are actually fratricidal orders. He says that those men have disappeared. He does not know what happened to them," he said.
