Donets Basin militants send 15-year-olds to war (video)
A Russian blogger has met a young adherent of separatists.
Nikita Perfilyev has reported it on livejournal. The interview with Andrei was considered to be a fake at fist. However, a video proving that the boy was a real person and was not afraid to talk about his war experience appeared later. The blogger also has a photo with the date and place indicated on it.
Andrei is only 15 years old but he commands a training company. The boy took part in a combat mission last week but he did not have to fight. Nothing bad happened although bombing started. The boy managed to overcome his fear.
Andrei was a member of a military patriotic club. His coach left for the militants’ brigade Vostok and invited his pupils to join him, Pefilyev claimed. The teenager’s father has also joined militants.
Andrei loves football; he is a fan of Donetsk Shahtsyor and Manchester. He has already trained several platoons and nobody has complained about his work so far. The blogger did not say where the boy had acquired his knowledge and experience.
The teenager is going to return home after victory. Only his mother and close relatives know where he is. The others think that he is helping his grandmother. “We are going to win. Our enemies will retreat in any danger and we have nowhere to retreat to,” he claimed.
