Shyrshyn alleges drugs were planted as police cite military tip in car inspection
Police seized packages containing “green plant material” from the car of Oleksandr Shyrshyn, a former battalion commander in the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade Magura, acting on an “operational tip,” the National Police’s Kharkiv Oblast directorate reported on Aug. 28. The substance will be sent for examination.
Former battalion commander Oleksandr Shyrshyn alleges that drugs were planted in his car during a police inspection. The police were alerted by a military tip, stopped an Audi, and found plant material in the glove compartment. The driver, a service member, claimed the substances did not belong to him. Police seized four packages containing green plant material and are awaiting expert examination to determine their composition and origin.
Shyrshyn claims the situation was a setup and has previously submitted a formal report over what he deemed as "idiotic tasks" that resulted in casualties.
