Six officers, captured in Crimea, were released from captivity. Russian troops transferred captured officers to the Ukrainian border guards in the area of Chongar last night.
Among liberated: Colonel Julius Mamoushev Major Igor Voronchenko, second rank captain Vyacheslav Dem'yanenko, Senior Lieutenant Alexander Filippov, as well as officers of the Marine Corps Colonel and Major Dmitry Delyatitsky Rostislav Lomtev.
Deputy Commander of the Naval Forces of Ukraine Igor Voronchenko, lokked very bad, and refused to talk to journalists.
He was tortured for several days, not allowed to sleep and keeping under psychological pressure.
At the same time, the commander of 204 Brigade Combat Aviation Julius Mamchur said that during interrogations, he was kept in solitary confinement and has been asked provocative questions.
Freed deputy commander of the infantry battalion of Theodosia Rostislav Lomtev commented: why some of his subordinates decided to stay in Crimea.
In my case, if we used our available weapon against the special battalion, believe me, we would have made mincemeat. It is very hard to take such a decision when you know you have no power and remedies.
If a Marine battalion stood on this side, then it would have been parity, but, excuse me, 10 Makarov pistols against 300 commandos ...
Personnel were local, Crimeans, the location of housing, family, confidence in the future in Ukraine. They had a certainty - take a place for further service.
