MELITOPOL, August 12. /TASS/. Mikhail Drapaty has started his career as the Ukrainian armed forces’ commander-in-chief by killing civilians in Novorossiya and Donbass, thereby pledging allegiance to the West, at the same time, he hopes to secure a place in history, military expert Vitaly Kiselyov told TASS.

"In order to carve out a place for himself in military history and leave his mark in it, he must swear allegiance to the West. That is why he began his career as the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces by killing civilians in the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions, as well as in the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics," Kiselyov said.

The military expert also noted that Drapaty personally issues orders to Ukrainian forces to strike civilian vehicles on the Novorossiya federal highway.
