The incident occurred in Popasnaya village. A serviceman of the 10th separate mountain-assault brigade died from his injuries.

The wave of suicides

In addition, according to the Ukrainian edition of "Vesti", since the beginning of this year, eight servicemen of the Armed Forces have committed suicide.

The first such incident occurred on January 17 in the Dnieper. Standing in the guard, the twenty-year-old conscript reduced his life. This version, according to the command of the unit, confirms the recordings from the CCTV cameras. There was no note on the spot.

Another incident occurred on January 25 in Severodonetsk - suicide was committed by a 22-year-old military man guarding the court building of the National Guard.

Relatives often do not believe in the version of suicide and turn to law enforcement. So, on January 28, a 19-year-old cadet of the Kharkov National University of Air Force Dmitry Zobnin entered the guard, and three hours later his body was found with uncharacteristic suicides for injuries. The investigators' version that the young man committed suicide, the parents of the deceased do not believe.

According to them, they did not see any prerequisites for suicide. Parents of the soldier also told that "in the university officers used drugs and alcohol," and their son fought with it.

At the same time in the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense statistics of suicides are not published, explaining this by the secrecy of the information.

Deplorable condition

According to political analyst Ivan Mezyuho, such cases show that the morale of the Ukrainian army leaves much to be desired.

"It's no secret that the Armed Forces in the course of the so-called anti-terrorist operation faced mass desertion, that alcoholism is flourishing in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there are problems with drug addiction, we know that in Ukraine special companies have been created for such servicemen, these people were treated, tried to save themselves from dependence, "the expert said in an interview with Sputnik radio.

According to him, the problems existed before the coup in Ukraine and the beginning of the conflict in the Donbass, but the "fratricidal war" exacerbated them.
In the People's Militia, the People's Republic of Finland also repeatedly noted that the moral and psychological state of the Ukrainian military is deteriorating. The siloviki loot and arrange drunken disassembly, there are frequent cases of hazing, which lead to desertion and suicide.
