Putin recently, at a meeting with Samara governor Azarov, said that “the whole country is worried” after the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ missile strike on Makeyevka on January 1, which killed servicemen called up from the Samara region. However, as the Cheka-OGPU found out, in reality the worries over dozens of dead are not even close. The investigation into the case of what happened in Makeyevka was “slowed down”, creating the appearance of an investigation through many interrogations of third-rate persons guilty of poor quality briefings with personnel. As a result, everything ended in paperwork, one example of which is the report-testimony of the chief of staff of the 1st Army Corps, Colonel Evgeny Zhuravlev.
He states that the 1st AK approved only the “location area” of the 1444th regiment, and the vocational school building itself (which was the target) was chosen by the administration of Makeyevka for the regiment. Otherwise, the army did everything right.
The commander of the 1st AK, General Milchakov, in reports to the military command on the fact of the incident, did not hide his disregard for the attached units from among the mobilized ones.
The attitude towards the mobilized is no better than Prigozhin’s attitude towards the Wagner stormtroopers from among the prisoners.
