Russian Soldier With Z-Swastika Beaten Up In Occupied Crimea

The attack happened in Sudak.

Occupants claim the beating of the Russian soldier in Sudak.

It was reported in a comment to the propaganda resource RIA Novosti by "advisor to the head of Crimea" on information policy Oleg Kryuchkov, reports UNIAN.

The attack allegedly occurred because of clothes with the letter Z.

The soldier, who was undergoing treatment in a local sanatorium, was allegedly attacked in the area of the embankment.

"The guy wrote a statement to the police. The incident is already under control of the Interior Ministry. The attackers are wanted. The reaction will be tough," Kryuchkov said.

However, Vice-Speaker of the Moscow City Duma Andrei Medvedev says a group of Russian servicemen suffered as a result of the attack. The occupants blame the Crimean Tatars for the incident.

"One was badly beaten," Medvedev specified.

The official believes the occupation authorities should deal with the "sentiments" in the city toward the Russian invaders.
