Srikandi גבורה - Skandal
permukaan dalam salah satu unit Ukraine cuba untuk mem-batalkan pemberontakan di
kawasan timur. Beralih daripada menjadi tidak wujud pada buku Kiev, pejuang
yang telah dinafikan makanan dan membayar perkhidmatan kini mencari kebenaran
di ibu negara.
Kerajaan
Ukraine telah menggunakan askar Pengawal Kebangsaan sebagai kuasa serangan
utama dalam serangan ke atas kuasa-kuasa anti-Kiev di timur negara ini. Ia
kebanyakannya pengawal, ramai daripada mereka adalah ahli-ahli pergerakan
ultrana-tionalist Sektor kanan, yang telah menyerang bandar Slavyansk dan
kampung-kam-pung di sekitarnya dgn mortar dan howitzer memaksa rantau ini
pro-federal Donetsk ke dalam penyerahan.
Sekarang
satu unit keseluruhan Pengawal Kebangsaan telah memberontak dan sedang kembali
ke Kiev, dgn mendakwa mereka tlh ditinggalkan oleh kerajaan &
mening-galkan yang tidak dibayar.
"Menurut
kertas rasmi, kami tidak wujud! Kami ilusi. Ia seperti kita tidak digunakan di
sini, kami tidak mendapat apa-apa amunisi - apa-apa "mendakwa komander
skuadron yang Ke-3 batalion rizab Pertama Pengawal Kebangsaan, Leftenan Taras
Zherebetsky.
Kiev’s
National GUARD Unit MUTINY ‘We’ve been
Discarded like TRASH’ . . .
A
scandal is surfacing in one of the Ukrainian units attempting to quash revolt
in the eastern regions. Turning out to be non-existent on Kiev’s books, the
fighters who were denied food and service pay now seek truth in the capital.
The
Ukrainian government has been using National Guard conscripts as a major
assault force in attacks on anti-Kiev forces in the east of the country. It is
mostly the guards, many of whom are members of the ultranationalist Right
Sector movement, who have been shelling the city of Slavyansk and the villages
around it with mortars and Howitzers to force the pro-federalist region of
Donetsk into submission.
Now
an entire unit of the National Guard has revolted and is heading back to Kiev,
claiming they have been abandoned by the government and left unpaid.
“According
to official papers, we don't exist! We're an illusion. It's like we haven't
been deployed here, we haven't got any ammunition - nothing!” claimed the
commander of the Third squadron of the First reserve battalion of the National
Guard, Lieutenant Taras Zherebetsky.

Guard Lieutenant Taras Zherebetsky (in Ukrainian) (Wawancara dengan Pengawal
Kebangsaan Leftenan Taras Zherebetsky (di Ukraine)
Beliau
berkata semua dokumen detasmen beliau telah hilang seolah-olah ia tidak pernah
wujud.
"Kami
tidur di atas tanah, kerana kita tidak pun mempunyai khemah! Mereka hanya
menghantar kami di sana - dan terlupa tentang kami! Dan sementara semua jeneral
dan komander duduk cantik di khemah panas mereka, dijaga oleh APC terbaru, kita
telah dihantar untuk berperang seperti makanan meriam, "kata Zherebetsky.
Ahli-ahli
lain Pengawal Kebangsaan berkata kadang-kadang mereka terpaksa membeli pakaian
seragam mereka sendiri dan perisai badan itu diberikan oleh penaja, bukan
kerajaan.
He
said that all documents of his detachment have disappeared as if they had never
been created.
“We
were sleeping on the ground, because we didn't even have tents! They just sent
us there - and forgot about us! And while all the generals and commanders were
sitting pretty in their warm tents, guarded by the newest APCs, we were sent to
fight like cannon fodder,” Zherebetsky said.
Other
members of the National Guard said that sometimes they had to buy their uniform
themselves and the body armor was given by sponsors, not the government.

Satu
lagi terperinci pelik tentang unit reveled oleh pejuang-pejuang, adalah bahawa
anggota tentera yang telah dikaitkan dengan unit-unit lain yang sebenarnya
tidak pernah wujud. Ini bermakna bahawa dari segi teknikal, mereka benar-benar
melihat tindakan, telah membawa senjata & musuh mungkin terbunuh dalam
Donetsk Wilayah dengan sendirinya.
Tetapi
itu sama ada bukan keseluruhan cerita. Pengawal Kebangsaan mendapati bahawa
sementara sebenarnya yang digunakan untuk zon perang berhampiran bandar
Slavyansk selama beberapa minggu, menurut dokumen mereka kekal di bandar aman
Pavlograd di Dnepropetrovsk Wilayah jiran, jadi mereka mungkin terlupa mengenai
membayar pertempuran yang mereka telah dijanjikan .
"Kami
tidak dibayar. Kami mendapat sekitar [US] $ 600 semasa ketibaan di sini 2 bulan
yang lalu, dan itu sahaja. Kami tidak mempunyai apa-apa makanan. Sebaliknya,
mereka telah memberi makan kita dengan janji-janji yang ia akan berlaku esok.
Tetapi kita bosan menunggu! "Kata seorang lagi askar Pengawal Kebangsaan,
Evgeny Ivanenko.
Beberapa
dozen ahli yang tidak bersenjata Pengawal Kebangsaan kini rali di hadapan ibu
pejabat kerajaan Ukraine dalam bantahan, menuntut untuk diiktiraf sebagai
pejuang. Yang akan memberikan mereka rawatan yang luar biasa dan hak untuk
faedah seperti diskaun ke atas perkhidmatan perumahan dan bayaran utiliti, dan
penjagaan kesihatan istimewa.
Another
peculiar detail about the unit reveled by the fighters, is that its military
personnel have been attributed to other units which actually never existed.
That means that technically, they actually saw action, were carrying arms and
probably killed adversaries in Donetsk Region of their own accord.
But
that is not the whole story either. The National Guards found out that while
actually being deployed to a war zone near the city of Slavyansk for weeks,
according to papers they remained in the peaceful city of Pavlograd in the
neighboring Dnepropetrovsk Region, so they may forget about the combat pay they
were promised.
“We
haven't been paid. We got around [US]$600 on arrival here two months ago, and
that's it. We didn't have any food. Instead, they've been feeding us with
promises that it's going to happen tomorrow. But we're tired of waiting!” said
another National Guard soldier, Evgeny Ivanenko.
Several
dozen unarmed members of the National Guard are now rallying in front of Ukrainian
government’s headquarters in protest, demanding to be recognized as combatants.
That would give them exceptional treatment and rights to benefits such as
discounts on housing services and utilities payments, and privileged
healthcare.
