Tretyakov said he signed a contract with the Russian Defence Ministry on 7 September (apparently in 2023 – ed.) and was transferred to Lysychansk (now a Russian-occupied city in Luhansk Oblast), where he underwent a week of training.
Afterwards, as he says, he was sent to participate in combat near the village of Klishchiivka on the Bakhmut front.
The video and the report do not indicate when the former mayor was captured.
