was given in 2021 according to the decision of the verkhovna rada. yes, october 14 was chosen here not by chance. on this day, the ukrainian army traditionally honors the holiday of the protection of the holy mother of god on this day, we pay tribute to the defenders and liberators of our native land, and not only on the current october 14, we also celebrate the day of the ukrainian cossacks and the day of the creation of the ukrainian insurgent of the army, god is his sherkevych and further. the story of one of our defenders, olga, now a sniper in the army, wanted to leave as early as 2014 and did not dare to leave her young son, and when the great war began, on february 24, in the afternoon, she stood in line at the military commissariat without military professional education and experience, but with an irresistible

desire to protect the state, the heroine covers her unit with fire and skillfully destroys the invaders about fear, endurance, the ability to make quick decisions and work in pairs, listen in the story of the sniper , i cannot say that it was my spontaneous decision on february 24, to leave the armed forces, that is, i thought about it , uh, this is such a well-considered decision, i thought about it for a long time, the only thing that stopped me, in fact, is uh, my son, who was a minor, and to leave him at home alone, that is, i don’t even know that they don’t i just didn't have the right february 24, that is, my son has grown up and is already independent, he is already working and studying, and i didn't even think about it here, that is , february 25, i was already a member of the military commissariat. on february 26, i was already enrolled in the sniper unit. i basically did everything tasks at the same level as other fighters required a

sniper and usually they chose those who, uh, not only shoot well, because a sniper is not a person who only shoots well. it is her endurance, this poise, it is such a trick, you know, somewhere and very fast decision-making is very important working in a team in pairs is very important, that is, there are a lot of factors that make a sniper a good sniper, of course, when i just started doing it. well, i can't say that it was just so cool and professional, and it was difficult, and it's difficult now, because i still i'm still learning, and i'll tell you right away those people who tell you that they're not afraid. well, i don't believe it, it's scary for everyone, in fact, it's just that everyone experiences this fear differently, that's how my first bus was, anyway, the person who is on the line is in the wall shelling of especially hot spots, i.e. fear is present, fear is simply controlled and it can be constructive,

when a person is afraid, he protects himself, well, a rifle for a sniper, actually, uh, i can’t say that this is everything, but it’s almost everything in the first place in order to have a professional job, you have to get used to that tool. what do you have? you have to. i can't come, for example, to one task with one rifle to another task with a different stock. because everything is taken into account here . how do you hold it? you pull the trigger . how are you? well, i would even say that the relationship to a rifle is the same as to a person. at the beginning of my life, when you get a rifle, you have to learn it simply from a to z. they said that we practically slept with them and went to the toilet with them, well , that is, you have to be with her everywhere so that you just

get used to her. under me here i should be comfortable, personally, i should be comfortable shooting, choosing a position, that is, everything is adjusted subjectively when i am on some task i am always worried, but i am not worried about my life, well, for some reason it turned out that way, of course i want to live and i don't i am ready to die for ukraine. i am ready to fight to the end for ukraine. i am worried that i will let my friends down. i am worried that i will let my brothers down . i am very worried about my team, my friends and, in general, my unit, so that we do everything clearly, because i like clarity , purposefulness and results in my work, so that it is not 90 for all 100%, that is, i have always strived for this, i prepare for a long time to each task and try to make it

100% complete. when i went to war, i was ready for different, uh, for different things, and when i took a sniper rifle in my hands and said yes, okay, i will be a sniper, i was ready for different moments, small psychological ones, well, for me it is, to be honest , for me it is pleasure, pleasure to come to shoot pleasure to learn something new i am satisfied that i can bring benefit personally i can bring benefit to my state continuing the topic about our defenders and the defender of heroes and heroines, we will tell you about the combined unit of border guards and fighters of the 80th brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, it was thanks to their resistance that the plan of the rashists to conduct a blitzkrieg to encircle ukrainian defenders and quickly reach kyiv failed. alienation and capture of the chernobyl nuclear power plant

checkpoint of children at the entrance to the chornobyl zone, nowadays there is little resemblance to the lively site where crowds of tourists once gathered , any movement in the zone is now under strict under the control of the military border guards and the police, the threat really did not disappear anywhere, the closed area near the nuclear plant is close to the border with belarus, it was from there that on february 24, an armored armada invaded ukraine, part of the rashists captured the chernobyl nuclear power plant and paid off in the red forest, the rest advanced to kyiv vitaliy yavorskyi, the head of the border unit of the fighters which, together with the military of the armed forces, occupied the defense of strategic objects even before the invasion, the border guard claims that the territory was fortified and

reinforced by reserves on the 23rd, already in the evening , information was received about a possible full-scale pursuit of the force of the russian federation, we were already preparing for this at about four o'clock, 15 minutes, rocket launches from the territory of the republic of belarus were already visually visible, the sky turned red at that moment in the area of ​​the city of chornobyl there were about a hundred border guards and soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, another consolidated unit defended the path of moser sheepdogs, which also passes through the exclusion zone, all forces of border guards who were in the area we had about 30 people in chernobyl and i personally led the first point that was defended. it was a bridge in the area of ​​the city of chornobyl itself across the uzh river and near the settlement of binivka.

we were also reinforced by servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine from the 80s. of the brigade in chornobylsk, in order to surprise the ukrainian defenders and take them into the ring, they entered chernobyl on the day through the pripyat river, then through the white magpie benivka and two roads, they also made through the forest of the soil, where they heard the occupiers studied the old maps well, but they only took dosimeters, they did not guess that they collected water from the reactor cooler for domestic purposes , again they hunted game that was near the reactor in the most polluted areas and used

it for food, they did not understand where they were, what is the danger here table in ukraine the threats are not neglected , the evacuation of the civilian population of chernobyl began with the first volleys of enemy rockets, the roads to the city of chernobyl were blocked so that the forces of the advancing parties did not cut off all the civilian evacuation routes there were about three thousand people who were there. by this day, the notification system had already been worked out, and i directly informed the heads of the organizations of the institutions, and they were already forming each of their subordinates, and in fact, it worked very effectively. at 4:40, the first cars had already left . eight or nine has never been in the morning,

unfortunately, you remained in the occupation and about 870 self-settled people who are in the chernobyl zone, this category is over 60 years old, these are people who have already survived, that is, the chernobyl disaster. where am i talked with some people, he says: where am i going ? i have nowhere to go. here i have a house, here i have a farm, here i have everything. after the evacuation was completed, the military blew up the bridge across the river . this stopped the ordinians for several hours and gave our fighters the opportunity to get out of the shelling, but already in the evening dozens of columns of completely different equipment moved, how much it was possible to find out thanks to the video camera of the tourist operator of chernobyl, the director of the travel agency, yaroslav

emelianenko, says that they recorded enemy columns and they conveyed information to the ukrainian military, and they drove absolutely everything from e-e armored vehicles, tanks, armored personnel carriers, imry guns, they carried with them security vehicles with ammunition, ordinary four-wheel drive vehicles, even in cycles, they carried pontoons . well, we did not understand how it was possible to restrain such a huge armored mass of e-e russian of the military, but they were detained as they were removed, it was possible to see article 56 of the protocol to the geneva conventions directly prohibits any military actions near nuclear facilities, however, the aggressor was not stopped by ani chornobyl zone ani zaporizhzhia and southern ukrainian nuclear power plants today putin is threatening the whole world with nuclear weapons in the style of a card cheater, everyone and they have the

means at our disposal, it was not a flash on the territory of the chernobyl exclusion zone, it is calm now, but this is only at first glance, on the other side of the border, the dictator lukashenka's troops are conducting constant training, and the bases are in russian the army on the territory of belarus is being replenished with new and skandans and manpower, so the ukrainian defenders are preparing for any scenario so that rashytskyi's slogan can be repeated became the dying growl of the beast the test of war is the most terrible thing that can happen to a state in defense of its country and

the right to live freely in its native land. millions of ukrainians became soldiers of the border guard service, those who first faced the enemy on february 24. they continue to fight against the russian invasion . about one of those heroes who go on exploits every day, we of the slavnokosack family together defend our native land and it was our destiny to defend this blue-yellow flag painted along the cross with wishes, words of support and thanks from my brothers, because he has the call sign kipish - he always keeps it in his pocket as a talisman, believes that it was he who helped him in battles and saved his life. and as a memory to the guys of my brothers and in general, protect ukraine that

it will always be free with me the former bodyguard fulfilled his childhood dream and joined the ranks of the border guards in 2016, and not long after, he served in the oos zone about a full-scale invasion 24 on february one of the first to find out was the senior in the outfit, we were watching the enemy at 5:15 a.m. for about half an hour and they were shelling us with hail because they thought there were a lot of us there and until 9 a.m. we held the field road between the shovels so that the orcs would not leave the volnovasi farm and held it until march 9, they repelled attacks and

evacuated local women and children under round-the-clock fire. cars could and were taken away. well, somewhere around 30, and my transport must have passed. well, the influence of people in the first days of the second got into the environment from a nearby outpost near the railway tracks. kipish remembers how they saved the boys, they gathered people and who was nothing else, and we with p' on the sixth day , people were pulled out of their group, the border guard was pulled out of the surrounded area, the wounded were taken out on march 9, the man considers it his second birthday that shot from the tank, he will hardly be able to forget the wounded comrade, he covered himself from death with his own body his protective equipment saved him, he showed himself

bravely, being wounded, entered the battle for another hour and, well, he ensured that he did not allow the enemy to break through. by the way, in this battle, he received his callsign kipish, that is, he gave kipish er kipishu to the enemy infantry. he recovers after his injuries and has time to communicate with his family, he was finally able to see his son, who also defends the country in the ranks of the border guards, that feat, we are proud of the father, says the team and the support of brothers is the most important thing in war, when the volume is going crazy, you don't think about your own life do you think about your fellow citizens, so that, first of all, you should cover them with yourself, if necessary, provide medical assistance and protect your country, the only thing that is pitiful is the one who writes that due to his health, he is not yet allowed to go to the front, but he believes in the strength of ukrainian

fighters and the victory of ukraine is ours, and as they say, why is the sky blue, the grass is green, hmm, so ukraine should be free, we do not support it, and we will win in any way. misfortunes are prejudices, the heroine of our next article proves that the modern armed forces overcome not only the enemy, but also stereotypes . anastasia, a communications team leader, met the first days of a full-scale invasion while still a cadet at the navy college. now she is already in the navy, about her service, about her crew, about love and the future victory. defenders of ukraine, a woman on a ship is in trouble, this is such an old stereotype over time. since i have

been serving on a ship, no trouble has yet happened, so as practice shows, this is just superstition, a living mechanism so you have to love him and submit to him and he will succeed. i think there is nowhere such a well-coordinated crew and well-coordinated personnel as on ships, because we all live it as our home, our second home, the ship. i like the ship service very much because we are like one family in we are a communication team, i have three subordinates, two men are 20 years older than me and one is younger, but we

work for us, everything works out, i was worried because i am a woman, i am not old enough. i was worried that they would not perceive me as their superior that is, they will be a little negligent about the tasks, but it turned out quite the opposite, very men perceive it and treat it with great respect. i don't know how to gain authority among men, but i guess you just need to do your job so that the level of knowledge is high. and we have a very harmonious team, there are military personnel senior officers who completed their military service in mariupol, who left there, they are experienced, they pass on their

experience to us young senior officers, it is very nice to work with such people. i like it very much that i feel supported on the ship, of course my husband will be a military man, of course a sailor, a sailor precisely because i am in this field but it will still happen someday that i will meet my love, at the moment, of course, i am not thinking about it now, the main goal is this work to improve one's knowledge, but in the plans. of course, this is the first day of the war. i met at the security guard of the military

town. we were cadets of the third year. i heard how right our fellow students reported that they heard explosions. what happened? what happened? they gave us weapons just in case, and since then we probably couldn't sleep for two days because it was somehow unusual, but we were preparing for this. we didn't just go to school and then serve in the army. the training prepared us for this, our moral and psychological state, our physical training, all this was worked out in order for us to join the army and be specialists, i cannot read the news, what

happened in mariupol, buch, the fact that kherson is now occupied, these are such inhuman qualities in those i don't understand people at all, their psychological state, their intentions, what their intentions are in relation to what they are doing, killing people, civilians and children, what is in their head at all at this time, of course i can't say anything about them and i do n't feel sorry for them at all. by our struggle, all the people of ukraine have shown that we are strong in spirit, morally stable, we will endure everything and we will become a

mountain for ukraine for our military personnel who are currently performing difficult combat tasks, i would like to wish them endurance as a young female military serviceman i am very proud of our men, of course, and women also play a significant role, they play a significant role

in our future victory. our country and our future from the aggressor until we met were only beating again and will be beating happy defender of ukraine day doctors teachers warriors we are all regardless of age faith preferences beliefs and now we are all five. we will win. glory to ukraine . what to do if you find yourself under the rubble of a house . assess the environment. call for help. report where you are. stay calm. wait until they dismantle
