We are located in Snezhnoye next to the mortuary.
Today we are here to prepare [ for transportation ] 20 bodies of our guys…
… that were collected in the villages of Stepanovka, Mariinovka.
And yesterday, on July 31st, we exchanged them for 8 Ukrainian soldiers.
Our soldiers [ bodies ], of course, are in a certain state of decomposition.
Even so, three of them show signs of being tortured.
Other three, all of them a crew of armored vehicle or a tank, are mummified and completely burned.
We moved out to a neutral territorry on the highway Snezhnoye -Taganrog in the direction of Mariinovka.
We met with Ukrainian army, exchanged 8 of theirs to 12 of our guys.
Their [ Ukr. Army ] uniforms are from NATO, the equipment is from NATO too, even the undergarments...
I think there was a commander of Spetsnaz [ elite special forces ] among the dead…
…and the whole group must be from special forces – that's why they agreed…
… to the exchange as more or less equal.
We had to wait for them to come. We waited for about two hours.
Then we exchanged our vehicles: we took theirs, in order to not give out our position, and they - ours.
We stood here, on a no-man land, five of us, while they unloaded the bodies from both cars.
We asked them: "Guys, where did you come to?"
"You came to Donbass - and who are you killing?"
"You own brothers, Ukrainians just like yourself."
They just bowed their heads, knowing that we are right, conscious of being unable to respond.
I told them: "Guys, if you want the war to be over – here is a wrong place to come to, turn around and go to Kiev."
"That's where the source of evil resides, bankrolled by Yankees. And that's how this war came about."
They are completely ignorant of the events of the last four months.
They have no idea what happened in Lugansk, how the eastern regions were bombed, about civilian casualties.
They don't know about destroyed houses in Snezhnoye.
Of many episodes of the war they are completely oblivious to.
The war is going on here, a fratricide war. We are killing each other.
That's why I say: "Open your eyes, everyone! Ask your families and relatives to raise up and head to Kiev."
And you too - make a U-turn and go to Kiev.
And this war would be over, I am telling you, in two days.
