According to the publication Readovka, a representative of the 1430th Guards Regiment, under the call sign “Fara”, noted that he went to the Northern Military District as a result of mobilization, since he considers the Russian Federation his second homeland.
The fighter emphasized his lack of regret and fear about his choice, even in light of the possibility of up to 20 years in prison in his home country on charges of mercenaryism.
In addition, “Fara” admitted that upon hearing about the attack in Crocus and learning that his compatriots were behind the attack, he felt guilty.
“When I learned about the terrorist attack in Crocus and that my fellow countrymen were terrorists, the first thing I felt was a feeling of guilt,” he admitted.
The serviceman noted that such incidents should not be a prerequisite for interethnic disagreements. He expressed the belief that terrorism is devoid of nationality.
