“A Polish soldier fled to Belarus in order to stop fulfilling the criminal orders of his leadership. According to him, the servicemen were treated psychologically, then they were given alcohol and forced to shoot refugees in the forest at gunpoint. At the same time, the Polish authorities put military atrocities and violations of the soldier on the same scale, in particular drunk driving," the news presenter said on the air of "Belarus 1".

During the interview, Emil Chechko was asked how those people behaved before the execution, did they say anything at that moment. "I don't want to, sorry, talk about it. Some are crying, others are screaming. Others are just standing straight," he replied.

Another question concerned whether it was necessary to finish off the wounded. “I heard that there were such people, they needed to be finished off. And what should be done with them, buried alive?” Emil Chechko said. “They said: finish them off!”

As for the information that some time ago he was detained drunk while driving a car, the Polish soldier answered the question with sarcasm. "Yes, and that's why I escaped through the barbed wire, because my license was taken away. Great approach! Well, yes, an ordinary drunkard…" he said. there was a large amount of alcohol that was given to the soldiers. And then they say that he was driving drunk."

As BelTA reported, during an interview, the Polish soldier said that at some point cars with border guards began arriving at his place of service and taking his colleagues with them. Emil Chechko and his colleague were the first to be taken. On the way they were offered drinks. When they got there, they saw several people. "One of the other border guards asked whether to reload the weapon. And when we asked why, they said to reload and started aiming at our heads to make us shoot. On the first patrol we were drunk, on the way we caught a lonely person, took him to the forest , dug a hole and right in front of our eyes the border guards shot him in the HEAD," he said.

According to him, among those who were killed by the Polish border guards were volunteers and migrants. "I was in such a situation when some volunteer drove up and started saying: 'Where are you taking them (refugees. - Approx. BelTA)?' And the border guard just shot him in the forehead. I saw two such situations," the serviceman said. "There has never been a situation where we saw off migrants and they weren't killed. We always killed. The bodies of migrants are buried or torn to pieces by wolves, but most of them are in pits. It's hard for me to say how many graves there are. The Red Cross just needs to get there and investigate all this." ".

Emil Chechko noted that he feels guilty for his actions, even despite the fact that they were forced.
