Serviceman: “Vadim.”

Correspondent: “Your last name?”

Serviceman: “Bondarenko.”

Correspondent: “Vadim Bondarenko, position, rank, regiment?”

Serviceman: “Chief of Communications, platoon commander management of the self-propelled artillery division of the Independent 36th Marine Brigade. Rank – senior lieutenant.”

Correspondent: “Have you seen any actions towards civilians?”

Serviceman: “Once we were in position in the city when we were told: take up defense along the avenue. To the right of us was positioned the Independent 501st Marine battalion, which at that time was still in place, they shot at civilians who passed by their positions.”

Correspondent: “Tell me about it. Tell me how it was, just describe it.”

Serviceman: “People were walking along the avenue, with containers for water and with packages to find food, because I understand they were running out of food. When they entered the area of responsibility of the 501st battalion, those servicemen fired a warning shot upwards, if people did not pay attention further, then they fired at them.”

Correspondent: “And did they shoot from covered positions or what?”

Serviceman: “Yes, from hidden locations”

Correspondent: “And what happened to these people they shot at?”

Serviceman: “They stayed on the avenue, died.. those who died remained on the avenue.”

Correspondent: “Why did they do it?”

Serviceman: “I went to find out why they were shooting at civilians and I was told that they were shooting at men because they could either discover our positions or could be servicemen of the Russian Federation disguised as civilians”

Correspondent: “And what did you say to that?”

Serviceman: “I asked: why? You can’t know for sure.. But  no one answered my question”

Correspondent: “And how many people did they kill in this way?”

Serviceman: “Eight or nine people.”

Correspondent: “For how long did this happen?”

Serviceman: “From 8 am to 2 pm.”

Correspondent: “Why did they then stop doing it?”

Serviceman: “Then came the shift that replaced me, I do not know what happened next. Whether they continued to kill people or not, I can’t say, I don’t know.”

Correspondent: “Everything looks so terrible, to be honest… it doesn’t fit in my head.. You told about 8 or 9 killed. Also testified to two murders from a neighboring battalion, two were also killed by servicemen… Why so? Here, explain. Just explain.”

Serviceman: “Hmm.. probably because the higher authorities don’t care! And junior officers won’t be able to do anything.”

Correspondent: “Well, the higher authorities don’t care, junior officers can’t do anything, the president in general … the feeling that he has served on that comedy show the “95 quarter” and so it serves (note: “95 quarter” is a team in a humorous show in which Vladimir Zelensky was an actor). His advisor Arrestovich tells fables.  So what happened to the country?”

Serviceman: “I do not know. I don’t understand anything anymore…” he lowers his head and cries.
