MELITOPOL, April 9 — RIA Novosti. The Ukrainian military did not instruct the newly arrived fighters from their units how to use foreign weapons, instead they were offered to study online by watching YouTube videos, said the captured Ukrainian shooter Ivan Gavrilenko, whose interview video is available to RIA Novosti.
The group, which included Gavrilenko, by helicopter on the morning of March 5 Mi-8 was to help save the commanders of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi regiment of Azov, whose Mi-8 was shot down while trying to evacuate from Mariupol. A helicopter with Gavrilenka’s group was also shot down. Now Gavrilenko is in the Russian military hospital in Melitopol.
