Azov Chief of Staff calls on SBI to investigate Ukrainian general for 'war crimes' for losing land & soldiers

The Azov Brigade's Chief of Staff, Bohdan Krotevych, is calling for Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) to review a particular combat general, he wrote on Telegram.

He refused to name the general in question but added that "everyone in the military understands" who it is as 99% of the military hates the general for his actions.

Krotevych directly contacted the SBI with evidence, accusing the general of "war crimes" for killing Ukrainian soldiers.

"I wrote a letter to the SBI calling for an investigation into one military general, who, in my opinion, has killed more Ukrainian soldiers than any Russian general," he wrote.

Krotevych said he doesn't care if a retaliatory investigation is opened against himself, saying that "combatants and brigade commanders are judged for the loss of an observation post, but the general is not judged for the loss of regions and dozens of cities and the loss of thousands of soldiers."

"The conditions under which the brigades are currently fighting, I will say this, is unreal heroism; first of all, for soldiers, platoon commanders, companies, battalions, and brigades," he said.

"Their heroism is based on the fact that they hold back the enemy not because of it, but in spite of it."

"Fate favors the brave", and "some creatures" are helped by the fact that the majority remain silent, because they understand the consequences of a "personal vendetta" against themselves and their units, he said.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
