I have a journalist friend who tells me some interesting stuff from time to time. And just a couple of days ago he brought me something that made me think that the guys in Ukraine are going a bit crazy.
So, here’s the story. Ukrainian military officials often claim that Russia sends its soldiers to fight for rebels, and that, in fact, everyone who fights in Donetsk is Russian. Not to sound unfounded, the Security Service of Ukraine provided a proof – a military service record book belonging to a Russian citizen. This book was supposed to show that some “Ivan”, 42, was a contract soldier since July 2014 and serving in Russian army. Seems like decent evidence, right?
But, in fact, the proof is a fake. There are several inconsistencies. One of them is the fact that you can sign a contract to be a soldier in Russian Army if you are between 18 and 40. The other request for such contract is completed secondary education, but according to the book itself, the guy didn’t have it. So these and many other mismatches including obvious violations of the
requirements for execution of such type of documents show the book is a forgery.
No idea what is there in the heads of all the participants of this Ukrainian mess, but it looks like some of them are getting desperate and losing their common sense.
