for victory . all those excerpts from the orders, all this, everything remained there, and the military id card was burned in the tcc, as it was at the beginning, and i feel the weight of the armored car on me, the shape is not enough, that’s when such a war as it is began for me. put himself in order not to let the enemy's infantry get close, miss, today we will talk about your story, about your combat path, when did it start for you in 2014, did you join the ranks of the armed forces

of ukraine already during the full-scale war , did it start in 2015, from the very beginning with february before the beginning of the anti-terrorist operation, i worked in the crimea for a turkish company, well, if there was any perspective , then that was all that was left. so , in 2015, i went to be mobilized and got into the 25th brigade. between avdiivka pisks, it was the ato, it’s completely different . you can’t compare it now with the flow that is now, then after my release, i didn’t

stay for a long time. tank battalion, then they allowed me to sign physical contracts, i had two contracts so interesting, then it was a job, it was uh, 16-17 years, i was dismissed from the position of commander of a tank platoon, then there was still service. well , lava, i won’t say what kind of unit it was it's not interesting anymore and unfortunately now i don't have any documents from this unit or with the beginning of a full-scale occupation of my house , all those excerpts from orders, everything, everything, everything remained there and my military id was burned in the tcc as it was at the beginning that could the documents that were to be established were established, and i was able to mobilize first for the war. it is the month of april, i really like technology , and when i climbed the kombat tower

for the first time, he told me that you would be a tank commander. everywhere , i was wondering what it was all about, and for yaryk, the blyurochki show, everyone came in, answered the gunner, the gunner, the commander . and that's how it went, i went to the training ground, we practiced a little, we drove, then i began to take responsibility, let's say, not only for my car, for my crew, but also through the radio, i helped the guys there, from the right to the left , there, all this on these maneuvers. so, in the location, i directly took it upon myself

responsibility for those guys that we are surrounded by this platoon of mine later we did not put him in the position of my agreeer for ourselves we made a decision that you want to go to the anti-terrorist operation i felt that i have to participate in this because it is mine and they took away a piece of me so big on at that time, my job was taken away, the perspective of the donbass, my relatives remained there, and until this time i also wanted to. i really wanted to change something and finish it all as soon as possible, but unfortunately it dragged on for many years . the citizen tried to get a job in such an army structure, but in order to be near home, but physical service is completely different. well, you can’t compare zeros with the front at all. you have to serve there and fight there

, you serve. no, we didn’t agree that way, it’s hard . after all, i was released and went to conquer poland. well, it was so interesting to travel. what was there? how ah, my wife also supported this idea, she came to visit me there, the guests said no, let’s take the children, we’re moving , so we’ll live a little like europeans, well, that is, a full-scale war found you and your family alone in poland, on the border of poland, and just at the moment when i was already in this mood in the updated it was very difficult for me to come in because i am not at home, but everything is, uh, housing to rent on favorable terms . i have a car, i have a dog , i have a family. admit that well

maybe it will delay here even longer, because the children have already learned everything there, well, everyone speaks polish, and then the war begins, and you know , it changed, but on february 24, i remember coming to work. i can't do anything, i can't do anything, but i don't know how it is explain and i, but i feel the weight of the armored car on me, how do we have enough of that shape? i started, as if to silence my conscience, by starting to volunteer. ukraine and so we are at the border

they drove around ukraine and drove one guy to a warehouse in kraków at the second one there in przemyśl near the border, then i understand that this is not the same , i am not doing the same thing. who am i? i was in the same yard with my neighbors , but i still felt uncomfortable. well, my wife is also looking at me, well, i understand everything. we do n’t have to say anything. the wound was already in the hospital she used to come to me. well, she says that i want to move. i don’t ask. i’m putting you in front of the fact that we don’t have anywhere to move to. so you think

. and we’re showing things, returning to your choice. let’s say yes, to leave volunteering in poland and return to ukraine during a full-scale war. to defend what were the first actions where did we go where did we go i initially, while still in poland, talked with my comrades from the tank battalion, well , i explained the situation that i still wanted to go. the boys from which i was in the dance team, they were in other units . some continued to work in the dance team with the dance team. some of them were engaged in something else. here is my combatant. he was the deputy commander of the brigade at the beginning of the war . well, on a larger scale. so i really begged him there, uh, the guy said he would help, well, let's do it, i'm coming to zaporizhzhia

, the military registration office, we don't have any documents. they burned everything while i was driving for a long time, they burned everything. well, what are you going to do then, they destroyed everything so that it wouldn't get to the enemy. i understand, i don't hold any grudges, but it was too long ago that this will restore everything, the guys' documents were made on the basis of those records, they made a new military card. well, while it was all restored, the staff was already staffed and there was simply no room, that's what i'm saying . what is he doing well, you go the sixth striletsky, i don't know what it is, but they are fighting, they are fighting. well , let's go there. well, yes, and what direction were you on? first, we drove in the direction of the big, uh, novosilka - it's a little to the east of the zaporizhzhia region, there is

the donetsk region at first they were there the battalion suffered heavy losses, unfortunately on the first of april, then we came to replace these guys. and then the enemy was pushed back a little from the village where we were stationed at the beginning . and we were like a reserve of a kind, but we were beaten. a war has begun for me, the likes of which i have not seen yet. for all these years of previous service, it was such an intensity of shelling battles that there was no time

to sleep. sunflower sunflower in the morning the shelling starts firing there are also mortars and artillery fire there and then the air force is there then they start to advance and try to press on foot they will get an answer they will leave and all over again until the very order the opportunity to approach this position lead something there or send someone to replace them or something else there only at night, yes, after a certain time of night. well, they may not be human, but these biological creatures also want to sleep, and they have an arta that quiets down a little at night. this was the only way we understood that if someone get hurt or something else, the day may be such that you won't even have a chance to evacuate

the sixth riflemen, it's not related to tanks at all , how did the infantry change ? it was new to me. do you feel a fight when a plane flies nearby? it's the same thing, but when you are not protected by anything except armor and fairy tales, and it just pours down from morning to evening. it's a little different and close contact, there's no comparison of the circumstances and where you were injured. the evening is a whole day of those shelling battles, they advanced on that landing. well, unfortunately, they broke through the neighboring pit, they also stayed

there for a long time, well, such a stupid team arrived, uh, the matter is that the reserves were already taken away from us, there was no reserve, and it was necessary somehow the boys will be distributed, that is, half of our side , they say we are going to go, that means to repel our positions, those who broke through are coming up behind us, the equipment was tanchiks , and these were pressed tanchiks with zetkas, it didn't work out a bit, then we were detected by their intelligence and after they opened fire on us with a mortar, then our pole, on which we jumped as infantry, it was hit, uh, a mine was hit in front of the tank , it broke his legs, he lost the ability to walk a little

, well, after half an hour, maybe we fought a little more. together with the tankers, well, on the car that was there, the two of them and the guy were left, so they got out with them, they drove in, well , they managed to drive into such a landing, it was shot through, the tank, unfortunately, was blown up. the crew died there, luckily, survived, but i don’t know he somehow ran past us. where did he go after that? i don't know. well, i don't know who survived and he and i then got out because they understood that there would be no help from me because of our location, that no one knows we are there, but our reconnaissance guys just arrived at the position nearby

well, we started to go out, it was also under fire, it was an open area, when we got wounded and realized that you can't move like that and you have to continue to lead, what were your thoughts, what were your first thoughts, what to do, and i kept the opportunity to analyze the situation if my mind was still clearly, as i never worked there, there was no panic. there is nothing scary before the events before the battle, but already in the battle you start to think how to survive , what to do , where to go ? you can come up with something there, there were thoughts that looked at my feet, yes, she is in place, something, i don't feel her, so i crawled out of that tank to the nearest pit there

, the main main thought , i set the task for myself not to let the enemy infantry get close, that is, the bull that i have was with me i had to somehow not bleed out, not shut down, well, control myself and just hold that position with only as much as it takes until help comes or some other possibility appears , well, there was no other way out, i had to be there and cover this left flank, our taka the position was still inconvenient, if it converged at an angle and we were in the very same corner, and on both sides the occupiers then came our scouts and they did not

see us, but we were a brother who was with me, he saw him and said, well, something needs to be decided because further nothing will work out of this and they started to push a little, well, it’s going normally. i couldn’t, but i’m still on adrenaline. i understand that it’s adrenaline and i need to move while there’s an opportunity until i completely fall. he got to his feet a little bit, two or three steps, he falls two, three steps, he falls well, it was still about a kilometer, brother, you didn’t leave me, as he says, hold on, they drove on, i already feel that all my strength is running out, i ’m here to give him a fence, what can i say, let’s go

a little bit reached the next landing there there was already a car of our intelligence, there was already an ambulance, so the guys stuffed it because he couldn't climb in, they threw everything from the top here , we waited for it to return from zero , and then we went to avdiivka, there was already an ambulance, so we went on for a long time , the rehabilitation she was already after the wound, when they got back on their feet, so to speak, did they know where they would go next, or return to zero, or continue that service, for example . so i understood that there are no more infantry assault units. the faster your feet, the more chances you have to stay alive and i don't want anyone to stay because

of the fact that i walk slowly . it's like that these guys go out with the same roads to the same zeros, maybe not in the same trenches, but nearby, and if they are noticed , you need quick feet here and everywhere you are rejected or you don't run, it stayed like this well, i was transferred to the tcc, it used to be the military commissariat, now it's called the territorial assembly center, now i'm like a security guard, i'm guarding the military commissariat, well, guys, we still have the same trips there, and actually how do they treat you and your fellow citizens , since it was also part of your duties to hand out summonses, in particular, how

civilians react and whether there were, for example do conflicts or such situations occur at all? yes, conflicts occur quite often. well, in general, people understand what it is. these are guys who fought, but there are many people who still think that a person from the military commissariat came to in a form with a summons, that means you are a lava rat who bought a position for herself and that means they want someone to fight instead of her, no, it's not like that now, uh, people who were transferred to the guard companies of the guard companies, well, they don't belong to the military committee, but no, we don't voenkomatovskiy we are somehow er as individuals and this work all falls on us er these are the guys who are also after the zeros they are injured they after rehabilitation a person can look outwardly well here we are guys who work with

subpoenas he is healthy strong and looks but no one knows how many fragments he has in his spine, how many nerves he has left, it's the same. it's not visible from the outside. well , if a person's hand works or not , he has it, so he's healthy . people on the street very often think that you're a bull . healthy, but something, you are in your place, why are you handing out bills here, they, well, many guys have been fighting for more than one year, and now they are doing such work, and before our conversation you mentioned that you will continue to volunteer a little more, yes. yes , here i have a little more time than at zeros. the opportunity to do something else, er, i, at this moment, feel that i can still do something, for something

, i can still be needed. so, er, my wife has connections there with polish volunteers, with ukrainian volunteers there, er, she collects for the boys er, dry goods, there is something in the middle, something there, well, all kinds of things, i get it all here and i have the opportunity to deliver it to the subdivisions of someone who needs it. you mentioned that you have a house in kamyansk, so you don't know what happened to it, i don't know, it doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately there was nothing left of the village at the beginning of the war, the bombings did not end there it was covered with everything possible, and recently the village was only half under our control, half of the village was occupied by a russian ball, a few people in the whole village, well, they told me that it was driven like this,

it was taken away. unfortunately, after the victory , you will rebuild do you already plan to return there? i have children . i have someone to rebuild for. thank you very much for the conversation and thank you for your service. please contact hrushevsky years, he significantly exceeded his promise, not only described the history of ukraine, proclaimed its independence, the independence that we will always defend, the state is us, we had enough strength to stop in the mountains at the beginning of the war, every day we find the strength, step by step, to return
