Ex-colonel GRU and the commander of the Army of the Separatists of Donbass Igor Strelkov (Girkin) said that on Monday evening he returned to Moscow from the combat zone in Ukraine.
“I am in Moscow. Attempt No. 3 to take a direct part in the hostilities (…) did not end in success, although it was very close to that,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.
According to Strelkov (Girkin), documents were not executed on him. He stated that for a long time he acted as the chief of staff of one of the battalions, but later found out that he was not listed in the personnel of the unnamed unit and “in the states of the N-na regiment.”
