He also said he regularly receives threats from Ukrainian activists.
“For the first time I was informed that several Ukrainian sabotage groups were working for me in the DPR in 2017. I was in the top five for elimination. I was then deputy commander of the reconnaissance and assault of the DPR special forces regiment,” Prilepin told his press secretary.
According to the writer, in the future he plans to serve under contract in the National Guard. He recalled that among the combat officers “several injuries, shelling and, finally, assassination attempts”. “It’s the usual way of working on the other side,” he added.
Earlier, the court arrested Alexander Permyakov, a suspect in the Prilepin bombing, for two months. He is charged under two articles of the Penal Code: a terrorist attack and illegal arms trafficking.
Recall that on May 6, the Audi car, in which the writer Zakhar Prilepin was, exploded in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Initially, it was reported that an explosive device could have been placed under the hood of the car, but later it turned out that the attacker had used mines. As a result of the terrorist attack, the 27-year-old driver of Prilepin, from Lugansk, Alexander Shubin, with the call sign “Evil”, died. The writer himself was injured and was hospitalized.
Suspected of a crime, Alexander Permyakov was arrested. The man confessed and said he acted on the instructions of the special services of Ukraine.
