A week ago the Minsk police said they detained a resident of Pryzhany district who allegedly took part in combat actions in the east of Ukraine. TV channel Belarus 1 has reported his story in detail.
The 29-year-old native of the town of Pruzhany had been fighting for the unrecognised Donetsk republic over a year. He claims that being a grenade launcher operator he killed about 100 persons. The man (nom-de-guerre ‘Taras’) received Novorossiya’s and DPR’s war decorations ‘For Combar Service’, ‘For Vlaour and Courage’.
