The commander has also mentioned that the statute of the military-political movement envisages exclusion of a soldier from the "Right Sector" ranks for breach of discipline. However, he don`t see no reason for exclusion the soldiers of the 1st battalion, who were the participants of the Mukachevo incident from the ranks of the "Right Sector".

"I see no reason to exclude them. They didn't wanted to do any crime. We should exclude a people, who commit some damage for the organisation deliberately. But now we are checking our soldiers more carefully, and working with the staff. Right now we conduct a number of measures, directed to strengthening discipline inside the battalions. This is normal. Of course, we are not a saints, not a battalion of angels. We are the ordinary people, ordinary soldiers." - reported Andriy Stempitsky
