“There were three platoons in my company, five on my team that were regularly used with me,” the prisoner said.
He explained that all questions about drugs and alcohol were solved together by his colleagues and they were raising money for it. “The command saw all this, we were under drugs, but they turned a blind eye to it, they threw us into the flesh,” said the man.
Vasilenko explained that before the mobilization he was a drug dealer and had connections, so he could negotiate with the volunteers.
Also, according to him, the volunteers were not examined.
