Six saboteurs from the 35th brigade attempted to approach the forward edge in Zaytsevo, the press service of the DPR People’s Militia reports.

“The enemy tripped their own mines and suffered losses: one militant died, two were injured. The dead fighter remained at the place of the explosion.

At that, the People’s Militia provided security guarantees many times at the request of the Ukrainian party to the JCCC, so the Ukrainian soldier’s body could have been evacuated. In response, militants using a drone only stepped up their firing.

Subsequently, we managed to evacuate the dead soldier from the 35th brigade’s 137th battalion, who was left by the command of the marine corps, and we are ready to hand him over to his relatives.

However, instead of considering the possibility of getting the body of their fighter, the Ukrainian command went to Ukrainian TV channels to make a theatrical show,” the statement says.
