The chief military prosecutor told about this in an interview with The Mirror of the Week:.

In four years, out of 2,700 non-combat irrecoverable and sanitary losses, 891 cases are illnesses, 318 are accidents, 177 are accidents, 175 are poisoning (with alcohol, drugs), 172 are careless handling of weapons, 101 are security breaches, 228 are murders 615 - suicides (including in the zone of environmental protection - 282). And most importantly, only a third of suicides were committed in the ATO zone, while on duty. The rest - after the departure to the points of permanent deployment for restoration.

For some it is a figure, but for someone it is a father, brother, son. In the recorded and published data there are no other casualties, not from military operations - injuries, illnesses, non-statutory relations, suicides and murders.. Such statistics in our state is not provided. We have homicide statistics.. They are not delimited.. Natural or sickness of death, suicide, murder are recorded in ERDR as murder.

But official records are so built that the real picture is not visible..

As Matios notes, one of the main problems is that those structures and departments in the Defense Ministry and the General Staff, which should deal with the prevention of the psychological state of the fighters, do not do it badly or do it badly:.

This problem should be addressed by the government, the Ministry of Social Policy, the Ministry of Defense.. Where to get the funds? Means are, they must be spent wisely, a procedure is necessary. It is very transparent with us, but for some reason it is impossible to "reach" anywhere..

Now psychologists in the army - 632. 250 thousand military. Some of them are sitting in the General Staff, some - on the mobile principle somewhere arrives, inspects, briefly monitors units. There are also volunteer organizations that, like the pigeon that beats on the glass, cannot move anything, cannot embrace everything.
