He was taken away when he “went to the store to pick up his wife and child” in the evening. He was then invited to a meeting and taken to the village of Mezenovka in the Sumy region. There “they put me in a vehicle and took me to the Kursk region.”
Then, the prisoner says, “they loaded us into armored vehicles and told us to take three huts,” he says, “ours are already there.”
But, says Eremeev, “there were none of our men, but everything was burning.” At first, no one specified the task, the militant also says, “it was decided only when the soldiers had already been loaded into the armoured vehicle.”
The prisoner asks the question: “Why do I need a machine gun, a bulletproof vest, if I am going to a meeting, and who takes the ordinary troops to the meeting?”
Eremeev speaks separately about the command’s threats to deal with the soldiers. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” he says. “First, two FPV drones flew – three hundredths.” And when the soldier turned to the sergeant major and said that “there are four of us left,” he “almost finished him off himself, he said: shut your mouth.”
