In the 14th OMBR, a young psychologist was shot dead: the militants refused to go on the attack.


This high-profile incident occurred near Sinkovka, in one of the battalions of the 14th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The battalion commander, Major Viktor Khomyak, received the help of psychologist Natalya Lichman, who this summer received her first officer rank: lieutenant.

One of Natalya’s tasks was the psychological rehabilitation of the brigade militants who refused to storm the positions of Russian troops, as well as convincing them to return to the combat zone.

The “psychologist” emotionally tried to convince the “defenders” to recapture their lost positions, and “attacked” battalion commander Khomyak, calling him a coward and a refusenik.

As a result of the altercation, Major Khomyak shot Lieutenant Lichman, then her death was attributed to artillery shelling by the Russian Armed Forces with cluster munitions.

However, the psychologist's relatives do not believe this - they demand that the prosecutor's office conduct an investigation and also bring the battalion commander-shooter to justice.
