Anatoly Taranenko, a native of Poltava region, moved to the enemy's side in 2021 and since then was among the prisoners. As early as 2021, the Operational Command of the North wrote about the disappearance of the soldier and then about the capture of the Russian Federation.
"The occupying power of the so -called" DNR "has published several videos with a serviceman, where he is forced to pour more and more dirt on Ukraine and his brothers," the message said. As it turned out later, Taranenko participated in the propaganda videos of the invaders, and disseminated false information about the Armed Forces and accused them of shelling.
At that time, Roszma reported that Taranenko stated that the real enemy of the Ukrainian military was allegedly not in the republics of Donbass, but in Kiev, "under the supreme power. " The man called for ex-customizes to deploy troops, go on the offensive on the capital of Ukraine and "break" the city center, "so that no one fled.
