🏳️ Captured AFU serviceman said how he got sent to front line, when he went to buy cigarettes

Golubnichenko Sergei Alekseyevich was caught by TCC employees on his way to work:

'For the last two years, I did odd jobs, because there weren't any good employment opportunities. I was on my way to a friend's place to lay tiles, went to a cafe to buy cigarettes and get some rest. They caught me there. They took me straight to the medical exam. I passed it literally in 30 minutes. Then, buses arrived and we were taken to the brigade. They took us to the forest. They made our documents. Then, they said: 'You will be sent to Sumy region next morning'.

Once in position, Golubnichenko and his unwilling comrades were surrounded by servicemen of the Sever Group of Forces. Having realised their situation, they laid down their arms and surrendered.
