Dmitry Valeryevich Sekachev (b. 29.04.1985, Sverdlovsk / Dovzhansk, Luhansk Oblast) (Sverdlovsk (Dovzhansk), Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine (occupied territory))
- Forensically Impossible Claim of Living Until Age 39 in Ukraine With Official State Mine Employment and Two Court Convictions Without Ever Receiving a Ukrainian Passport ([01:05]–[02:18], [11:55]–[12:25]): Subject claims he never once held a Ukrainian passport and crossed borders into Russia and Belarus through open fields on a Jawa motorcycle, whereas official employment at a state coal mine in Sverdlovsk, two criminal convictions under Article 185 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and release under Ukraine's August 2014 Amnesty Law all required passport identification; his on-camera denial is tailored to avoid FSB reprisals over concealed Ukrainian citizenship upon a second exchange.
- Collision Between 'Helpless Abductee Wishing to Flee to Belarus or Africa' and Refusal to Surrender If Sent Into Assault a Third Time ([10:18]–[10:35], [11:50] vs [12:45]–[13:55]): Even after Russia's war killed his younger brother, caused his mother's fatal heart attack upon news of his second capture, and wiped out 40 of 42 men in his unit near Vesele, he declares that if exchanged and sent back a third time he will never surrender ('No! I will never surrender like that! I have a stubborn character, my younger brother did not surrender either, my father fought in Chechnya').
- FSB RF Moscow Filtration Protocol for Exchanged POWs & Segregation of Luhansk Conscripts ([04:25]–[05:55]): Documents how exchanged POWs are given push-button phones 500 meters across the border, flown to Moscow, fed for 3 days, and interrogated one by one by FSB officers (who ask whether Ukrainians 'forced POWs to kill each other in captivity'), after which ethnic Russian servicemen remain in Moscow while Luhansk conscripts are bused via Samara back to their unit in Luhansk after 10 days.
- Deliberate Dispersal of Exchanged POWs Across New Brigades Out of Fear They Would Kill Their Former Commanders Over Kupyansk ([03:45]–[04:05], [06:30]–[07:05]): Reveals that when re-mobilized in 2024, exchanged survivors of the 202nd/102nd Regiment were scattered into new units (such as the 7th Company of the 85th MRB) because command feared they would execute their former commanders who concealed the retreat order near Kupyansk on 18.09.2022, abandoned them, and listed them as MIA (when those commanders were later captured, camp guards had to physically separate them from their own soldiers).
- Wipeout of 40 Out of 42 Soldiers of the 85th MRB Near Vesele & Russia's Refusal to Exchange Donbas Conscripts ([04:12]–[04:23], [07:32]–[08:25]): Testifies that when their BMP was hit in a treeline on their third assault run toward Vesele, 40 soldiers were killed on the spot and only two survived to be captured — after which Russia immediately exchanged his Russian co-captive Sasha while leaving the twice-captured Luhansk resident behind.

2. FOUR FORENSIC FINDINGS ACROSS THE 12-POINT COUNTERINTELLIGENCE MATRIX
- FSB RF Filtration in Moscow & Dispersal of Exchanged POWs to Prevent Fragging of Commanders (
[04:25]–[07:05], Marker #5): Documents the 3-day FSB interrogation pipeline in Moscow after POW exchanges, the immediate return of Luhansk conscripts to military units while ethnic Russians stay in Moscow for rehabilitation, and the deliberate scattering of exchanged soldiers into the 85th MRB so they would not kill the commanders who abandoned them at Kupyansk. - Occupation Medical Conveyor (
TIN 9403026216) & Refusal to Exchange Donbas Conscripts ([04:12]–[04:23],[06:05]–[06:28],[07:35]): Confirms that only double amputees are exempted from mobilization in occupied Luhansk Oblast, and that after 40 of 42 men were killed near Vesele, Russia immediately exchanged his Russian co-captive Sasha while leaving the twice-captured Luhansk resident behind. - False Claim of 'Never Holding a Ukrainian Passport' (
[11:50]–[12:30], Markers #3 & #11): His official state mine employment and two Ukrainian court convictions with an August 2014 amnesty release certificate prove passport identification existed; he denies holding a Ukrainian passport on camera to avoid FSB prosecution during future filtration. - Fatalistic Serf Psychology After Losing His Brother, Mother, and 40 Comrades (
[09:50]–[13:55]): Despite losing his younger brother, his mother (who died of heart failure upon his second capture), and 40 of 42 company mates at Vesele, he insists he would 'never voluntarily surrender' if sent into a third meat assault, citing 'stubborn character and fate'.
