KIEV, October 5. /TASS/. Some 16,000 Ukrainian soldiers have defected from the zone of military operations in conflict-riven eastern Donbas – many carrying weapons, the country’s chief military prosecutor said on Monday.
“We have investigated 16,000 criminal cases regarding defectors who have left the zone of military operations, and a significant part of them defected with weapons,” Anatoly Matios told reporters.
The Interior Ministry has launched a search for all those missing, but no more than 1,000 had been located over the past year, he said.
