Eduard Basurin, a former official representative of the people’s militia of the DPR, said that he could continue his military career by cooperating with the Russian PMC. RBC writes about it.
Basurin turned down the opportunity to work with Yevgeny Prigozhin’s company, but said he was ready to cooperate with PMCs unofficially.
Currently, the officer is engaged in public information activities and maintains his own Telegram channel, and he does not consider other proposals for cooperation.
On February 18, several military correspondents of the Russian Federation announced the dismissal of Basurin from the People’s Militia of the DPR.
The reason, as reported, was that Basurin did not meet the criteria for officers of the RF Armed Forces, as he did not have a relevant education and official ranks. Later, a representative of the people’s militia of the DPR confirmed that he is now a pensioner.
