Missing MP found in ATO zone

Yesterday, People's Deputy Yevhen Deydey went missing in the anti-terrorist operation zone. Two fighters from the "Kyiv 1" battalion also disappeared.

Ilya Kyva, Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Donetsk Oblast, suggested that Deydey was kidnapped by a sabotage and reconnaissance group or border guards involved in smuggling.

«По факту пропажи народного депутата Дейдея Евгения и двух бойцов батальона Киев -1 . Вчера вечером, под населенным пунктом Марьинка Донецкая обл , был найден автомобиль на котором ранее передвигались пропавшие, с поврежденной задней частью от попадания РПГ , вокруг авто были найдены, гильзы от патронов, 7,62 и два полных магазина, но следов крови нет, что дает возможность предположить, что Евгений с бойцами отстреливались и отступили в лесополосу. Всю ночь моим отделом велись активные прочесывания территории, но пока результата нет (Regarding the disappearance of People's Deputy Yevhen Deydey and two fighters from the "Kyiv-1" battalion. Yesterday evening, near the settlement of Maryinka in Donetsk Oblast, the car in which the missing persons had previously been travelling was found, with its rear damaged by an RPG hit. Cartridge cases of 7.62mm and two full magazines were found around the vehicle, but there were no traces of blood, which allows us to assume that Yevhen and the fighters fought back and retreated into the forest belt. My department carried out active searches of the area all night, but there has been no result so far)», - Kyva said.

Shortly afterwards, information appeared on Ilya Kyva's page stating that Yevhen Deydey and both fighters from the "Kyiv 1" battalion had been found alive.
