1/ A former Russian police officer who is preparing for his imminent murder in Ukraine has recorded a farewell video explaining the circumstances of his death to his relatives. He says that a Russian major general has ordered that he is to die on the front line. ⬇️

2/ The video features a man named Mark Erikovich Sadykov, who says that because of some unspecified dispute, he was demoted and transferred to the 111th Regiment of the 9th Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade on the orders of "Major General Solovyov".

3/ (This may be a reference to Major General Igor Petrovich Solovyov, an FSB officer who has commanded an FSB special forces unit.)

Sadykov says he was a military police employee for seven years and a graduate of the prestigious Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School.

4/ His new comrades in the 111th Regiment were "surprised" to see someone of his former rank and experience in such a subordinate position,"but then they made inquiries, and the order came from above. I am here to be reset [executed]."

5/ He says that he has a serious leg injury, for which he has documentary evidence, and needs hospitalisation and the removal of metal plates in his leg. However, nobody wants to examine the documents or grant him access to medical care.

6/ "Today they came up to me and said that today they will dress you, give you a weapon, and tomorrow they will take you to the line of contact. But so you understand, it will be one way."

7/ Sadykov had previously seen a notorious video of two drone operators explaining why they were being sent to their deaths by an antagonistic commander, and "I couldn't believe at all that something like this could happen to me."

8/ “Tomorrow they’re taking me to the line of contact, and all the local guys here said that the order for you is to go one way. No one will pull you out. They’ll zero you out there. Even if you get 300 [wounded], say, from the enemy, no one will pull you out.”

9/ He says that he is being held in a house in Donetsk and is unable to escape because the exit has been blocked by a car. He accuses Solovyov and the 9th Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade's personnel chief of arranging his death.

10/ "In my death, in my destruction, I ask that the officials be blamed, investigated and punished – Major General Solovyov, call sign "Vorman". This is the commandant of the DNR."

11/ Sadykov says that he appealed multiple times to various military and law enforcement agencies, explaining that his life was under threat. However, he was told it would take between 10 and 30 days to process his appeal – clearly far too long for him.

12/ He appeals to Putin to intervene and asks his relatives "to figure out when I am gone, this video will surface. And if you are already watching this video, then I am either no longer alive or will be reported as missing in action."

13/ "I am probably not the first, and God willing, I will be the last, so that our Russian boys, no matter if you are active or military or mobilized, do not suffer like this."

14/ He blames military leaders in the 'Donetsk People's Republic' (DNR) for lawlessness – a frequently-made complaint. (The 9th Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade was formerly part of the DNR's 'People's Militia', which had a very bad reputation for mistreatment of its men.)

15/ "I came here voluntarily, I came voluntarily to fight for the interests of Russia and so on and so forth. But the local leadership, the local military commanders of the DNR, and the Russians, they have completely different concepts."
