Separatist who downed Malaysian plane fought on the side of the aggressor in Bosnia and Herzegovina!

Igor Girkin, the leader of separatists in Ukraine who took responsibility for the downing of the Malaysian plane, in which 300 people were killed, fought on the side of the aggressor in Bosnia and Herzegovina, reports the BH news agency Patria (NAP).

Girkin is also known by the name Igor Ivanovich Strelkov and is a veteran of pro-Russian and pro-Serb wars against Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Chechnya. In his official biography, he states that he fought in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the side of the Army of Republika Srpska.

Shortly before the announcement of the downing of the Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine, Girkin 'boasted' on Twitter that his forces had shot down a military aircraft, claiming it was a cargo plane.

- In the area of Torez, we shot down an An-26. It lies somewhere in the 'Napredak' mine. We warned you - do not fly in our sky. And there is also a video of a bird falling. The bird fell near the mine, the residential area was not disturbed. Civilians were not injured - read the tweet, which was later deleted when information about the crash of the passenger plane emerged.

Also, just a few hours ago, Girkin announced that Serbs are fighting on the side of the separatists responsible for the downing of the plane, in which more than 80 children were killed. They recently received reinforcements.

- Serbs are successfully fighting under the command of Bratislav Živković. Serbian fighters have no losses. Recently, a new group of reinforcements arrived from Serbia. The “Jovan Šević” detachment has grown and now numbers 35 volunteers. From now on, we address them as the “Slavic Detachment,” since besides Serbs, there are also volunteers from other Slavic states – wrote Girkin, who presents himself as the minister of defence and commander of the armed forces of Novorossiya and pro-Russian forces in Donetsk, reports NAP.
