[000:00:00;00] together, where and under what circumstances did you meet the beginning of a full-scale war, it began for us on february 23. my daughter is a military cadet of the kharkiv national university according to the forces and she tells me that she called me on the 20th , around the third in my opinion, and said that she had to alarm us on that the moment has not been explained to me yet, but since we are in a military family, we are going to arrive at the university in five minutes. in fact , we met with my daughter and son-in-law together, we received weapons and we were at 12 o'clock at night the armed men are ready for further instructions if the leadership of the command before the start of a full-scale war, yes , at the moment of kharkiv at the national aviation university. please tell me what was your relationship with him. in the competition for the position, it was very welcome because

the university management wanted people with combat experience to teach the cadets, i started teaching after 24, which brigade did you find yourself in with weapons in my hands, i and my daughter, but a military serviceman. accordingly, we received an order to move out of kharkov to the settlement of circuni as part of a battalion from the kharkiv national university that formed was formed even before the start of the war . volunteers were also selected. cadets, including their daughter, were determined the task of defending the city in the middle cities in the future, accordingly, i no longer knew where it was. and we, you were in the direction of the settlement of zirkuny, e-e . we could not go beyond the borders of kharkiv, because on the way out

the district that the tank fighters were moving in the north, the saltivians, this is a tank shot, this is a tank shot, and most likely they got hit, they were playing . what kind of world does the russian federation offer us? it is probably a little different than the one we dream of having brothers like that. it is better to be an orphan. glory to ukraine. we are all equal. it will be ukraine . to be honest, we knocked out a tank and several of the enemy’s brows and began to occupy the defense there. accordingly, the 92nd anti-rogue brigade , the 22nd battalion of okhtyrsky came out and we were given the command to occupy the perimeter of the city , that is, we occupied the roofs of the buildings

. from above , they covered the column with riflemen and weapons and means of anti-tank impression, this was our function. task from northern saltivka this is how everything looks look how many houses i have and all of them literally burned down , all the inspections, the school is still whole, this is such an amazing, scary landscape flew by, i will take it to the mountains, i did not think that he could knock it out like that, what was the intensity of the fighting, the offensive of air raids , the bombing of the enemy today it was very big, the northern plover flew in, well, every 15 there for 20 minutes, some kind of projectile greeted that it had flown in, well , the funnel was 70 m 50 meters deep, not wide. and here is the house

of our brother, so it looks bombing of houses, there was a case when the aviation boba did not take off and fell on the house where our soldiers were, it was constantly flying, there were direct tank attacks on the houses , especially when the drones found where we were, the drop is like this picture: the first floor after it burned down , of course they did not understand that what kind of unit is this, but they saw the movement, we brought up ammunition, we were stationed on the roofs, we returned the surveillance on the floors, people were already evacuated in principle, and in a day or two they already began to target homes in which we were located, that is, they already understood what perimeter we occupied, the intensity was quite high, and it was my first experience of using aviation against us, and they called it that , if you remember, there was such a series , the squid was playing, so we called our stay

in the north - salita all at once squid, that is minutes every second because of which life for every movement every exit is a huge result well but but it is easier than sitting at the place of evacuation of property 21 russia helps we tried to strengthen those people who themselves could leave because they were. well, they were generally elderly people whose children did not have the opportunity to come. some of them , by the way , were there in belgorod, for example, some children were in the occupied territories . life was different situations the evacuation car its people were different and they were there grandparents almost didn't have to walk shelling is going on you are a person waiting in the car you

are taking them out a certain part of the people when it is our unit tell about the hardest battle in time of a full-scale war that was in your experience at that moment , the most difficult battles were tank attacks from the use of aviation, well, that's how the aviation of the russian federation of russian fascism worked. the aviation group flew in. i can't say for sure. the secret video is that we are defending kharkiv from the attack of the enemy with locations. well, it is quite large, it is not directly 70 i am filming, so i want you to be impossible. that is, you pass the house there in front of the house and the aviation flies and starts

working with unguided rockets is quite epic enough. even a little mesmerizing is enough not even to be hit by even the very sound of the aircraft working nearby . you had to stand side by side with the cadets, your students, whom you taught just yesterday, so a certain group of cadets of the missile faculty performed the duties of protecting our celestial space and they kept the defense from the sky and next to us the cadets of the machine tool institute fought and well, they are heroic guys, you are proud, you were a witness the liberation of kharkiv oblast so i was in kharkiv until december 22nd, that is, we were reformed after being withdrawn from saltivka into another infantry unit, also a battalion tactical group from kharkiv national university and there i was already performing the duties of a signalman and until december i was also an infantryman battalions, the period of the liberation of kharkiv region to the main it was the fall of the 22nd year , we caught all these moments. what do you think

made it possible to defend kharkiv, kharkiv region, kharkiv region, in fact, very patriotic the city, despite the fact that it is the east of ukraine, and the russian-speaking people there think so, as experience has shown, a lot of people became a crossbar, they were not ready to stand nearby without weapons to take part in the defense of kharkiv, the offensive in relation to the liberation of kharkiv region, was it really so lightning-fast, at what cost? he gave himself command was done so we who were in kharkiv military personnel we did not even know that reinforcements had arrived we did not actually see the movements that is, everything was done so competently so thought out and we didn't understand er when the moment came that we became not alone , for example, i why, i think that it was done very carefully and well, we are such a screw, i was in the capacity of a soldier, i should not have known a large amount of information, but you

i didn't notice this. and when i was later, you could go to a village and know that at a certain time there were 10 people living there in some facility. there was one team and it was all with one voice, a single fist or several yes, and they did this a lightning operation, well, it's simple, i don't know, it's a very cool position, not always satisfying in life, i came from kharkiv , my brother fought like this in 15-14 years at the zenith, he offered to take part in the creation of a combined forces brigade under the administration, but already as a liaison a sergeant, i.e. at the moment i perform the duties of the head of the communications and information systems division of the rifle brigade, i took part in my formation

. the unit was formed from scratch, there were selected volunteers, people who consciously understood that they would go to fight in the infantry unit , i.e. perform tasks that are not peculiar to them, and well , that is . in general, we understand that these are patriotic, conscious people who understand the consequences of their decisions - because the infantry units are always on the vistra, this is still work, this is what you can say, the infantry say yes, the queen of the fields, your task is to hold your position, your task is to endure there for a month, maybe two dense shellings, squeeze out and fulfill your tasks - this it was really very difficult and decently created . here i understand the unit correctly during the war. is it already fighting

? to say where, but the soviet brigade turned to some kind of force. this is a worthy unit that honorably fulfills its task. are there any of those comrades with whom you have fought since 2014, and now at the front , such units are like a certain club of people who have common views, interests and preferences and principles, then i met more than one person there, who were at the zenith in p in my time, too. i could not sit still and became an instructor for the zadeno rifle unit that defended zenit. that is, there were seven rotations of the sixth. i drove an underbarrel grenade launcher instructor. well, in general, i am a statics instructor. i know people from three rotations and have met them. yes, there are people who served at the same zenith for 2-3 rotations , again, i can’t name them on the air, for sure their surnames from the middle of the call sign sarmat, you can

to say that the russian officers saluted him when he left the crimea, and so did the leader of the brigade, well, i fought with him in the 15th year, and the man who formed this brigade is such a combat officer that when we had a battle in nazenit, we were in the surrounding person has already understood that it is all very difficult and the person himself took part in the battle will still be in the zone of the colonel as a sagittarius again in order to support the spirit what kind of people to work cool you are the father of three children and they continue the military dynasty tobacconists so tell me more about them daughter is 23 years old a cadet at a certain time and he wanted to go to the army. she didn’t want to, but what about the moment when she became more mature and she told her dad, i will be drafted before i die. 16 years old, he understands what i do and my daughter, and my daughter is an example for him, including because she took part in the defense of kharkov, she asked a worthy worthy i am proud of this child radomir, including now he started a project to produce drones for his own population for the armed forces, both for intelligence

and kamikaze, and the purpose of his work is to make them available cheaply for military personnel and, if possible, to supply the unit that lacks them, collects funds from donations from the so-called yes, from people who want to get involved, he had his savings, which he fully invested in this project. what were the results? well, radomir tested the drones , he did an inspection it is for weight lifting, he has checked its range, he is engaged in the modernization of power supplies , that is, acameter batteries, he is studying various schemes for assembling drones in order to make the best option, but that drone which the evaporation of which was carried out. it is functional and ready for use. it is the cheapest in terms of cost. the drone is the cheapest of the highest quality. the goal here is very huge . the difference should be the greatest quality and functionality due to the fact that it is assembled with your own hands due to the fact that people do it. they help us

. we do not pay them for their work, of course there is no rent for the premises, there is no charge for electricity on an industrial scale, so that is, we are also trying to unify everything together , which means reducing the cost of the process production, but with high quality, my younger son also wants to be a soldier, my younger son bohdan for example, when i started a full-scale invasion , my daughter and i went to the positions, and the demo children were left alone. two, three, four walls, they spread their beds on the floor, they took their dog with them, they turned out a place for their computer and told the father, everything is fine with us, we have already dug here, we will tell you, don't worry, we are waiting for evacuation, you as a father of three children in the conditions to become an island for your own betrayal of the children's future, to stand as an island in such a situation, it does not mean for their future the time of a full

-scale invasion, what conclusions have you drawn for yourself , the first conclusion, we will win, the second conclusion , we have a beautiful nation that knows how to unite , the third, without this war, we do not have in unfortunately for the future, the independence that we had was given without blood, it is now being fought by watering our land with our blood, and that is why, unfortunately, not all of you live, not all of you will see it, but otherwise we probably won’t get it, which must have become the biggest the victory was the biggest loss during this time, during this time it was not the biggest victory was the fact that in the first days of the war our army held out, i will tell you this is very important because when we took up the defense on saltivka, there were two weeks , i said goodbye to the children. every day i understand how many of us are there i understood the situation, which the majority of people who are not military cannot know , in my opinion, the enemy had every chance to capture kharkiv without problems, taking into account the qualitative

characteristics of the forces and means that were there . therefore, this is a global victory, most of all a loss loss of brothers and sisters is your motto in life, maybe some motivational phrase is good and it is not necessary . well , you have to take it literally like this. to beat, we protect the future of our children, and even those moments when we evacuated people and animals, they bit the cats a little, they were, uh , there are such animals, small chinchillas, they were turtles from the apartment, the owners asked, people were afraid to come in and asked to take them out of these animals, that is, because of which life but you are saving lives, this is probably important because , well, our nation is innocent in terms of aggression . i think they are aggressive. it seems to me that we are simply choosing our own. what to do the day after the victory, what are you planning to do?

description of the apartment and then we will go to the sea with children thank you for the conversation thank you for your independence our state chevrons approaching victory and the mortal danger that hung over the country continuing the thousand-year tradition of state-building in

ukraine to proclaim on august 24, 1991 ukraine is an independent democratic state of mountains covered with ice ivan the knight and the great forget fight and you will overcome god help you the truth has prevailed and the will is holy thousands of years of state formation 105 years of struggle 32 years of restoration of independence we are afraid of everything we cry laugh through tears let us shudder at the news here and abroad in the eye of pi and in that we clench our teeth with all our might and move on because we have something that does not extinguish our secret power, the source of which is in ourselves every day every second february 24 life has stopped what to do how to live then nobody needs me, i don't need acting, i suddenly found a way out. my neighbor gave it to me yesterday and when

my friend was going to the front , he passed the armed forces. eyes and hands alone, they don't know anything, they tied a masterpiece, but a very warm thing, it's the same in life, so it's difficult for you too , looking for a way out, you want to learn how to help yourself and others, go to the website how are you.com, these are particles of headphones, fairy tales, it's still the same land with that swamp of the zaporizhia steppes where vasylko also died in this transfer and the most terrible thing is the projectile particles that destroyed my child and his brother andriy, not how

heavy they are, how sharp they are, they would surely pierce the concrete, this was a very painful transfer for me, which i received in the months of may, but it was also a very close transfer for me, because everything related to my son is very close to me, the fact that it wasn't even opened, i couldn't open it , funny photos, i can't see it anymore, because it's already stuck to it, among these things that remained at the place of death and that lay there for almost 4 months, vasyl's passport, his military card, photos with friends , a military pass, photos and other medical documents, a power bank, when they brought

vasya, the medical expert did not want to let me in , advised me not to look at this body it is clear that i am like a mother. every mother wants to see her child. when they opened it, i saw a body without a head in germany. it was black day . when the body was opened, there was practically no body . there was only one left leg, the rest was the whole body. it was tattered. well, you know, i endured it, because i saw it more than once, and for a woman it was a terrible blow, and the thought that my child was buried without a head accompanied me for a long period of time. i called his company, mr. serhiy, with a request to find vasyl's head, because

they are finding the remains of bodies and years later, i voiced my request to a relative of my husband, mr. ivan. i understood that this request of mine may never be fulfilled, but i still had some hope that someone would visit there one day and tell me if that head is there. i even believed i imagined how it would be before the burial. because it was very important for me. a certain period of time passed and ivan called me and said that he was at the place of death of my vasyl. the main thing he told me was that the head would most likely not be there because it was blown up because very close to 1.5-2 this tank shot exploded but he handed me these things i am near the green grove and at the request of larisa stepanenko i arrived at the place of death from

vasyl igorovich's passport oh the ticket was also brought to the place vasyl well i looked around all around in within 100 m of some other things that belong to me at the moment, it is very unfortunate that the shrinking of my heart. thanks to ukraine, everything is going well. i am glad to hear you , turn on a little, please . more and more work clarified those coordinates and no matter what happened to me, i

would also like it, maybe my relatives also knew something about it somewhere, where life ended, it is possible for every soldier what can you do together with your comrade, you can say oh, they are not only fighting, they are wiping our mother's tears. these are our actions. i am amazed by his action. family at the time of the full-scale invasion, he was in paris, he told me, mom , we are collecting a volunteer bus and i will return home, i tell him, you thought well, because you are alone with me, vasylko, he didn't even want

to discuss it, he immediately told me that he will return to ukraine and join the army. i understand that he would not have been able to do it otherwise. i guess he always had such a keen sense of justice . and for many other soldiers he brought me. well, he didn’t have much of a plate. i say, “where did you go?” and he came back and said, “mom, i already have a position in the teroboron , says i have to be there at 9:00, you say you will take me, being in the teroboron, assigned the rank of lieutenant and he sent me this photo, it was on march 25, he generally told me mom, i will be a general on september 16 , he was concussed, he didn't even say anything, i talk to him on the phone and say, my son, in that box, you will also find

something in the other box, and i i felt that he was not orienting himself by the boxes, what i told him, i asked vasya , why are you not in position, and then he was forced to admit to me that he was in the hospital . when the backpacks from america arrived, i asked for this backpack for vasyl, and he made a photo report. things, this backpack after vasyl's death, i washed it because they returned it to me and sent it to ivan, he now has it, and you are very satisfied with this backpack, because he says that the quadcopter fits right there, so vasyl continues to serve, his things continue to serve , he smiles, his haircut is so unusual for me well, i see we understand that they don't have time to do their hair there, he is like this in the photo, but here he is more cheerful vasyl was a very athletic man, he tried to do morning

exercises constantly, he even did exercises, for example , every day before christmas, we argued about who we have 30 years of difference between us. i know that he will do more. the point was that i was the first to start doing push-ups . i did 40 times. he did 41. i am the commander of the unit where i did my military service . vasyl ihorovych stefanyshyn with a french call sign. she will complete the task in the shortest possible time. i am very proud and honored that i served with such an officer

. my memory rests with honey . he deservedly received this award. vasyl's brothers told me that there were moments when he really showed himself as a commander . it's a pity

that she found him posthumously. not because of this, they won't pity me when i'm in trouble, but i don't need sympathy, i'm not a hero, but the enemies are all stronger than me , it's not even a job, it's a struggle , and i'll be stopped. no ranks, no titles, no statuses. i'm not a hero, and i'm not fighting against anyone. for what and our goal is justice, we defend the state together, you can't register damaged property, you don't know where exactly to turn, call at 3:45 p.m. and your appeal will get right into the right hands. if you are currently abroad and need help, you can call the hotline at
