Several Ukrainian mass media services shared a news (with the link to Gazeta.ru) that the recon officers of the 3rd special forces brigade (captured by the Ukrainian servicemen near Shchastya on May, 16<\/a>) had been exchanged and transferred to Russia without any fuss. For now\u00a0our team has made several requests to different power-wielding agencies to confirm\u00a0this information.\u00a0Preliminarily, based on the statement of Oksana Sokolovska (who conducts the case of Evgeny Erofeyev) we can say that the captain of the 3rd spetsnaz brigade E.Erofeyev and sergeant A. Aleksandrov are still in the Ukrainian military hospital. The pre-trial investigation is prolonged and the\u00a0preventive measures are without changes.<\/p>\n

As Oksana Sokolovska mentioned on her\u00a0\u00a0facebook profile<\/a>, the mass media statements about the captives\u00a0exchange were disinformation.<\/p>\n

“Dear mass media, please re-check your information before it is published and spread.<\/em><\/p>\n

These details\u00a0have nothing to do\u00a0with the\u00a0actual\u00a0events. At least for the current moment, maybe, tomorrow something might change. It seems that my\u00a0colleague could not have imagined more interesting kind of promotion. That is a fake!!!! The guys are in the military hospital in the territory of Ukraine with the prolonged preventive measures and pre-trial investigation<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I did not satisfy\u00a0the request of Konstantin Kravchuk, Aleksandr’s lawyer, about a\u00a0Skype call to Aleksandr’s mother (since earlier I provided\u00a0communication between Aleksandrov and his relatives), and my colleague found a way out by spreading the false information”.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Besides that, SBU spokesperson Olena Hitlyanska also denied the information about the captives exchange and called it a fake.<\/p>\n

Let us remind\u00a0you that right after the Russian servicemen capture the InformNapalm team offered the responsible authorities to run\u00a0a set of informational events which could play a great role in the counter-propaganda activities and the Russian society mind decompilation. But we have got no positive feedback. In the same time our volunteer translators translated the subtitles to\u00a0the videos with the captured recon officers interrogations in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish and Polish languages. These videos\u00a0have been spread among our abroad audience as another proof of the Russian aggression in Ukraine\u00a0[EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, TR, PL subs] :<\/p>\n
