→Aidar Battalion atrocities
==Aidar Battalion atrocities==
==Aidar Battalion atrocities==
By the end of May 2014, the Aidar was fully equipped and headed for southeastern Ukraine. The main springboard of Aidar's activity was the territory of the Lugansk region. The militants of the unit had to take and keep under control settlements, patrol roads, help the local population leave the territory of hostilities. However, Aidar did not cope with its task - almost immediately after joining the so-called "[[ATO|Anti-Terrorist Operation]]," the actions of the militants were criticized even by the [[Kyiv]] authorities.

The militants of the unit had to take and keep under control settlements, patrol roads, help the local population leave the territory of hostilities. However, Aidar did not cope with its task - almost immediately after joining the so-called "[[ATO|Anti-Terrorist Operation]]," (ATO) the actions of the militants were criticized even by the [[Kyiv]] authorities.
The most telling such incident was the battalion's unsuccessful attempt to take control of the city of Lugansk. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in turn, stated that this operation was not coordinated with the military leadership and is the arbitrariness of the combatant. As a result, on June 17, 2014, about a hundred people were ambushed in the vicinity of the city. Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko was also captured. In [[Russia]], she was accused, and subsequently found guilty, of the murder of reporters Anton Voloshin and Igor Kornelyuk, who were reporting for the Russian media network VGTRK.
