Separate groups of nationalists are coming from the joint forces operation zone to the Bogdanovka-Petrovskoye area. Deputy Commander of the Operational Command Colonel Eduard Basurin stated this at the briefing in Donetsk on November 1st.
“The past week was marked by the intensification of nationalist groups in the joint forces operation zone which influenced by disengagement activities. In order to thwart this event, three buses with teenagers aged up to 19 accompanied by armed men arrived at the Bogdanovka-Petrovskoye area in Nikolayevka on October 29th. At the moment, a training camp is being arranged there. The idea of the radicals’ leadership is to use the young people to block the ways of withdrawal of equipment and military personnel,” Eduard Basurin said.
