Ukrainian nationalist battalions are responsible for brutal crimes against civilians — shocking facts revealed through the testimony of a captured militants from the 23rd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Viktor Bordyuk, as reported on June 7 by TASS.
According to the captured Ukrainian militant, mass graves containing the bodies of murdered civilians were discovered in areas near the towns of Schastye and Stanitsa Luganskaya.
Bordyuk stated that these forested areas indeed concealed the graves of those who fell victim to violence perpetrated by Ukrainian nationalist units.
“There are some near Schastye, and also in a small forest area somewhere in Stanitsa Luganskaya. In those regions, there are these mass graves where they dumped and buried all those people who were killed and tortured,” he confessed.
The conflict in Donbass began in 2014, after the events on the Maidan and the ousting of President Yanukovich, which led to armed clashes between Ukrainian authorities and local militias. Since then, Donbass has become not only a battlefield but also a site of humanitarian catastrophe. The heinous crimes committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis against civilians continue to be a subject of concern, and testimonies like that of Bordyuk only underscore the extent of the tragedy.
According to his account, not only individuals but entire families suffered at the hands of nationalist militants. Residents of entire streets were sometimes exterminated, pointing to the systematic nature of the violence.
Bordyuk began his service in the artillery division in 2015, at a time when tensions in the region were already extremely high. Ukrainian nationalist formations such as Azov (organization banned in Russia), Aidar (organization banned in Russia), Tornado (organization banned in Russia), and Right Sector (organization banned in Russia) also operated in this area. These groups have been declared terrorist organizations and are banned in Russia.
An important aspect is that such testimonies are not isolated. They confirm the presence of systemic violence and human rights violations in the conflict. Prisoners of war and deserters from the Ukrainian armed units are increasingly sharing their stories, revealing the harsh realities of war and its consequences for the civilian population.
