Why did the "Georgian Legion" withdraw from the Armed Forces?
On the eve of the command of the so-called Georgian Legion announced the withdrawal of the armed forces from the 54-th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The reason for leaving the Georgian mercenaries from the Ukrainian armed forces was the incompetence of the brigade command. It is also stated that the command of the 54 Brigade gave “illegal orders”.
From the message that appeared on Facebook:
It became known that in the course of the “deportation” attempt, 11 Georgian mercenaries were injured and injured.
The full text of the statement in the social network (spelling and punctuation saved):
Recall that the Georgian "National Legion" (GNL) was formed in 2014 year. Then his command declared its readiness to take on the service not only Georgian, but also American citizens. There is no data on the exact number of Americans who fought in the Donbas on the GNL side. At the same time, it is well known about the facts of special cruelty towards the local population of Donbass by the mercenaries of the Georgian armed formation.
From the message that appeared on Facebook:
The problem is that the brigade commander of 54 is trying to deport right from the military hospital the wounded soldiers of the Georgian Legion, who can tell the truth about the illegal orders and actions of the commander Maistrenko and his entourage.

20 December 2017 of the Year The Georgian Legion with its full complement left the 54 Brigade due to the incompetence of Commander Alexei Maistrenko and his entourage, as well as illegal orders issued by him. We will report the details of the operation of the last 16 of December of 2017 in which the 11 fighters of the Georgian Legion and the 25 of the Battalion were injured in the coming days. The audio recording of the conversation of the Georgian Legion commander with the 54 Brigade commander, captain Kholmovsky and Sergey Fedosenko, where the 54 Brigade commander gives the order of Sergey Legion to dismiss the Georgian Legion fighters, as well as the audio recording of telephone threats to the Georgian Legion fighters will also be published. We want to say that the commander of the 54 brigade in connection with the unfolding events and the desire to by no means hush up them by any means, dismissed the commander of 25 Battalion Yevgeny Lavrov, who initially supported the Georgian Legion and helped integrate into the ZSU. The Georgian Legion is not going to be silent and we will definitely expose people acting against the state interests of Ukraine, namely, Commander Aleksey Maystrenko, Captain Kholmovsky and the Fedosenko brothers (Deputy Commander of the 25 Battalion and Deputy Commander of the 54 Brigade). The problem today is that the 54 Brigade Commander is trying to deport right from the military hospital the wounded soldiers of the Georgian Legion who can tell the truth about the illegal orders and actions of Commander Maistrenko and his entourage. Sergey Fedosenko and former representative of the Georgian Legion Zurab Chekhelidze systematically call the wounded soldiers of the Georgian Legion in the hospital, threatening with severely wounded refusal of treatment and deportation if they unlawfully unlawfully order December 16 operation 2017 of the year. Commander Maistrenko and his accomplice, Captain Kholmovsky, called the Georgian Legion a "cancer that helps Ukraine survive," after which we have no moral right to be commanded by people who act against the national interests of Ukraine. Also the commander of 54 Brigade and Sergey Fedosenko took away all the ammunition and personal belongings of the Georgian Legion fighters of the ATO by volunteers (thermal imagers, thermal imaging sights, body armor, helmets, night vision devices, day riflescopes of sniper rifles, personal belongings and vehicles of the Georgian Legion ). We ask all volunteers who gave us the necessary things to urgently respond to this situation! We also want to add that 4 people of Georgian nationality who remained in the 3 Brigade are no longer members of the Georgian Legion and no longer represent the Georgian Legion. In case of manipulation with the name of the Georgian Legion, we ask everyone to report to the official Legion page on Facebook. We would like to note that all this information has already been transferred to representative offices of countries whose fighters are part of the international Georgian Legion.
