The brother of Russian military Grigory Turcanu, who was captured by IGIL, told about the bombing of companies of Russians in Syria.

This information, he said in an interview with Radio Liberty.

"There is much more loss, I'll tell you right away, because another person called me, he did not go there, said," I'm tied up with this, because I'm sick of this dirt ". Because they went, of course, to earn money, at least to maintain their pants, and help, they thought, for the just cause after all.

And in the end he did not go, but he told me that a year or so ago almost a whole company in Syria was blown up in a minefield, that's such guys, "Turcanu said..

To clarify the question of how many people died at that time, he reported that there were about 60 of them.

"Whether they were brought to the minefield, or something else, but the guys died ineptly, just on mines," he said..

Earlier, Turcanu spoke about how his brother fought in the Donbass against the ATU forces.
