The prisoner told about the shootings of the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants because they refused to go to the front line.

In the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), militants who refuse to go to the line of combat from their rear positions are being shot. This was announced on March 28 by the captured soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Litvin.

"This is no longer just some isolated story. Everyone says that it is practiced," he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to the prisoner, his colleagues "wasted" one of the militants of the Litvin group, who did not go to the front lines of the special operation.

Lytvyn also added that he was sentenced to 7.5 years for manslaughter, and signed a contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a penal colony, after which he was sent to the first separate Da Vinci assault regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, previously formed from members of the Right Sector (recognized as terrorist and banned in the Russian Federation).

They were put up against a wall, shot at, and threatened with actual execution for repeated misconduct.
