off covered one of those grenades with his own body. of course i was frightened, but i tried to compose myself. i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me. this is the thought that comes you down moms waiting for your thanks. this is serious. none before that because every one of us is ready for it. well, perhaps not completely ready to do it how to prepare yourself for death, but we do know the risks, moves them. we know what our task is and above all. now where it is that we serve, monica commended. that was the 1st last my unit ever suffered to them and the 1st loss under my command and in general, due to go sir,

. m. usually the singer is a chosen arbitrarily holland with the 1st is mostly the soldier with the loudest voice. for in this regard div jenny was always the best one he sang in the school choir and was never embarrassed. you can. so he had no problem singing the army with so many people listening to him. ah, we both thought there was still plenty of time before he left that so when the 15th of november, when he had to go eventually came round, was spent the whole night packing his things in a hurry. i wonder if he has a sweet tooth. he had one so have his huge hole dole was cramped to the brick with sneakers chocolate bars and other sweets, flanders, hysteria,

taking warm clothes out to because they didn't fit. but he wouldn't allow me to touch the suite off. there was completely out of the question, the fact that it was not, but i just knew that everything would be fine. for some reason we were so confident of california because we were going to get married officially after he came back with everything was plant would have been sent out the invitations. how could he not come back when you get on? the mere thought of it never crossed her mind. tell. sorry i can't ah

new bird somewhere that heroes and cowards feel exactly the same things for the difference is that the hero mos on any way while a coward stepped back close up? ah, but i from the case natural to be afraid, skeptical when every deployment feels like the 1st everything repeats itself. yeah . well, yeah. everyone's scared to pull a while. getting ready for the mission. i never think i'm invincible. immortal feelers. nothing like that. i didn't realize that event after the mission, the classroom with the we drew plans of the conflict corolla. what, what is the death usually takes the best of us? because the best are always up front in you. because they're the quickest to make decisions look like you have any up of deeds during that fight coming up or. ringback how shocked? oh, do not cross surprise. oh,

good lord. this was the so called cause laska terrorist group is like not which in just one year before that fight carried out several terror attacks inside augustine, lugubrious. these people were fanatics. they'd abandoned normal life. lucy, bureau for them. life had become war zillow accordingly. oh, you killed me. and you bought this new just for they took part in attacks on the security services you them. so they were directly involved in killing law enforcement officers. frugal effects and they were responsible for terror attacks and the town of chrysler hargrove, and in fact, the whole chrysler area. and i guess done business with just a logan you mom. the special forces are an isolated community. i can understand how their wives are able to wait, constantly anxious. daniel bristol, digital that or even when a special forces soldier is at home with he can be called up at any moment. would you shook off thinking chairs?

it means their wives are always waiting. knowing that their man might not come back jenkin, we just did. we had a heart to heart talk once me ain't need guinea out of what you are still with. he told me a lot about himself. i asked more and more questions over bruce. sometimes i didn't even have to ask, i took up the phone, he just took whatever the subject was, and elaborate on it to try to rule that. so when i asked my mother to send me my documents, i didn't tell her i was going to sign a contract to serve in a special forces unit. wasn't she might have guessed, but she didn't know for sure. during my 1st deployment, i was lying to her about where i was and what i was doing. oh, didn't that? no, i can't find the words to describe how it feels when you're so tense and anxious with that every phone call. every text message sets your teeth on edge or when he calls and tells you that a calm voice of his phone, i'm going to, we're going on

a mission for about 5 days. maybe more. don't worry. i'll call as soon as and back . well, much casanya. ah oh me too. sure on my why you we had an exam passing it grant you the right to where the special forces chevron and khaki bray little boy, that's the 1st stage. every one tried really hard. if danny was very strong willed, i used to say stubborn, which he would set goals for himself and you could see he was moving on to achieve them whole or getting some was the good. i think when you set yourself a goal, who then you try to achieve it at any cost. it's a big, we've just told her this. in spite of all that of the $222.00 soldiers who took the exam hall only $33.00 of those passed

obama gainey and i were running in the same race. this battle march is the main test, those soldiers, stamina with them on the claim with the purpose of the test is to make sure that we will know what it's like when you're utterly exhausted and still have to drag a fellow soldier along the way. that's a part of the special forces, code holes under no circumstances. will we ever leave one of our guys on the battlefield? i wish you drag your friend because he know that his life is more important than your own. i remember you. i passed the test on my 1st attempt and you've gainey on his 2nd or 3rd. what else?

after passing that we could both proudly hold our heads up high. yeah, you know, i feel the exam was in so did he of guinea. during the test, he was doing pushups. i slapped him on the helmet and said, we're pull yourself together, boy, no, before i do the login, a lot of things remind me of him. we used to work out together, for example. now had to do it alone with time. mister bloom, i'd ask him to keep time from when we were doing exercises. now i have to ask other guys, isn't michael to follow after i reenlisted? i had nowhere to stay time. so he agreed and just like that that is he did the cleaning up in i did the cooking were live together, came home together, left on the same air bed, woke up every morning and went to service together. wishful oh,

that's enough. what's the time? what time nicholas, if he hadn't covered the grenade with his body, a lot of other guys would have died in a split 2nd. he made a conscious decision and found the courage to throw himself on top of it. he would have sworn it was not for nothing but we're going up the semi colon slow witted, grunts for sure, but we have a purpose of yours. unless we combine terrorism that russia may drown in chaos. microphone. i mean, we took a dog called saba with us on that mission. when you're malala wouldn't want to bring your long it for as long as there was barely enough room in the church worker, then we put her in her lap, which was then she started behaving strangely, jago and running frantically back and forth, whimpering. so she must have felt that she was about to die and would open.

after we went several meters along the path winds above us swerved to the site for you. there was a patch with no snow and we saw a hand sure. at that very moment, it opened and mittens started shooting from its upper of our island fire on the hatch and commanded barbara to go for the attackers. florida from the channel jumped ahead through work and suddenly the dog let out a very loud howl. then she turned back and covered me with her own body and blocked the machine gun, thought that the medicines were aiming straight at me. a feeling of dog i had to last press for it was so long, so loud and then there was silence. but i couldn't help myself after that, i started crying her once

we often think about her home and i had recently taken in a german shepherd puppy more now training him for coma tasks. but i have noticed that she resembles the baba and he savage give up the same look in his eyes according to la, just the way she did. well, there is a very clear resemblance between the 2 of them is that i down is right. lie down. oh, good boy. good boy, weldon. ah oh, well, it shows the wrong one. i just don't know. i mean, you have to fill out this thing because the attitude and engagement

equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for the common ground. ah, yes, that is the learning. of course, my health isn't what it used to be before i was wounded, but i'm trying to get back in shape. right now i'm trying to get as fit as a special forces officer is supposed to be what i am preparing my family and friends for the idea that i'm not going to resign you . i tried to explain to them there's no one who's ever going to take my place on the missions we carry out. i just have to learn the lesson of my wound. we've done with him. i enlisted in the army at the age of 18. i was at college then finishing

my 1st year i left when my summer examinations were in full swing and went to a sped nuts unit for the yeah, i'm fully aware of what happened in what could have happened in that battle. i've long since prepared myself for any possible outcome. mean of this, what are there are still people who try to make me change my mind to, to convince me that i should resign often. how could i do that? if it's what i enjoy them, right, that's what i lived for actual friends. ah sh chuncy. i'm not going to plan anything. now. military service has taught me one very important thing to make no plans for the future ever . i could be returning from a combat mission with other guys now did what fate decided otherwise up

a little nip with his law. i was lucky to stay alive. now i'm going to mourn those who died at the bag. you couple of course i would like to get a crimson bray being a true warrior. i'm going essence, that's what i aspire to also for come, for now i have to focus on restoring my health. and when the time comes, i'll do my very best to pass the exam so that i too can wear the crimson, pirated boy were commencing an endurance test. 5 sets of 10, push up sort of 10, pulling your legs onto your chest, and 10 jumps, pruning any questions or no questions. also assume front support position or what's on my count for press. 123 students. were you, sir, as pets? nice soldier must progress and improve you. there's no point for sharing that.

you're the toughest guy around the world. you're gonna because there's always some one tougher. you will. who did he studio? yeah. the little girl is the job you get paid for the will and take a certain delight in doing when was rolston, there's no point thumping your chest, so boasting about being a member, the special forces england. i never liked that sort of thing. ah no young people often mistake me for a perry trooper or a marine. but once an old man cold out in the street, it looks on there goes a crimson break. marshall totally awful and people are reluctant to sit next to me in buses for if they are afraid of somebody else. which with a while for some reason off of many believe that spits nice are boneheaded gorillas

of the can't think properly and go in are only good for hurting people and fighting mark on the back of the rocker. or boy, a flight is what tells you if you are ready, you don't know what will happen tomorrow and then what situations are skills might come in handy. the more you exercise, the more easily, you'll pass the test. if it was easier for you to earn the crimson barry than some others below, it just means you worked harder during a training. i was actually the aim of these exams. it is to test our physical fitness. i'm convinced it. there are no limits to what the human body can do is to control it. there are only psychological barriers and it's best not even when you can't go on any longer. somehow you do it any way. some of those formats are the most important thing is to break through the psychological barrier, they'll pull a code. after that,

everything is easy, brother dismissal process. it really turned to us see it as blood offer you convince yourself that you have to do it that way. if i hadn't passed the test, i wouldn't have the chevron that you see on me now. i also really wanted to go back wearing the crimson bray and the uniform i'm wearing now. that all these factors together were very powerful incentive for me. lou, why he would wear these bearing any whether leslie, even when it was freezing cold. i remember him coming to siberia once to spend the winter holidays with me, and you will. he got off the train with his creams and burying his hand yacht. people were turning to look at him because his ears were blue with cold god, but he was so proud to be able to wear the bray if guinea was the life and soul of

the party from foreigner, but also withhold jockey competitions within the squad. and again, he took part in every one of them, okay. during missions we used to make of sketches. his act was always brilliant. so she could all go parker room for people literally cried with laughter. did you get my spiritual horse? my girl you know who i am, sergeant. do you know? yeah, i keep going for this footage again and again and all the emotion i felt then washes over me again. i can't seem to get my head around the idea that if kenny is no longer with us yet, a dish.

it was clear when i went away on my 1st deployment, i was very nervous. only i'm from siberia and we went to the south of the country. everything was different. even the people that deployment was a long one. it last of the full 10 months. it all seemed so much easier now because i've got the hang of it at last. and what we learned, what our charge would be 24 hours before the attack with dfs be had informed us about a group of militants in a particular area. we had to come the ground for them. we go, go. i saw trodden path leading, chewing bush, and noticed a hatch. i pointed out to the commander also, and at that moment i was wounded hosted to wearable around some wood. the battle only lasted for about 5, maybe 7 minutes. thing happened very quickly,

which is the movie and then with us because all of the terrorists were hiding out in their lair for on the other half, they were lying in ambush, near my apologies for interrupting the regularly scheduled programming. the meantime, the head of the don, yet, peoples republic and the secretary general council, the council of russia's, our ruling, political party, united, russia, they're both. now briefing the media, that's listen, it, come up at la moda when you go, what, when does again, they were building that had legislation that banned us from speaking our language. it was the 1st decision made by the ukrainian parliament after the coup d'etat, they prohibited us from keeping our identity. and from honoring our history, we did not agree to that when the t shirts were so we had to defend our views. and we had to make sure that sir, we will remain ourselves so it really took to arms to do that,

you go to the and are we're profoundly grateful. all of us are profoundly grateful for the support will stay the same with what we've seen recently. that so there is an escalating aggression or from ukraine both lewalma and we see that in. yeah. the things that were a cause for concern originally, such as the amassing of troops sandra, equipment of supplies, of lethal weapons from western countries. but now it's literally in your you believe it was leading to provocations and to deaths among the civilian population. they got the recall numbers when you call the you the, for me of a minor to who did not reach his work out. there was a one of those victim is good. what was the reason for that?

was he guilty of something? people were killed by enemy fire. way at them in a vehicle maybe or but what, what did they do? so the situation funeral which was found to be critical, and we had to announce an evacuation of the population, 1st of all, women and children and elderly. and we are very grateful to russia. shykeneetra who was helping a little again with the process and many russian regions on lending a hand due to the don baths and many agencies are joining this work. i would like, but i will be following the governments instructions and her little will bring your theme. usually, audrey, people of russia are willing to accept people who are left without the home and the children into their families and into their homes. so evacuation is mm hm. you'll it wasn't

a good thing in that. it makes it possible that you believe you're going to eventually get to ensure the security of our families to work with and to fight with to defend our frontiers. most of course we had to get announcer mobilization because it's not like it was in 2014 or 2015 when, when we had our separate groups, we have a lot of militia. now we have a, an organized force for children that is able to act and a professional manner. i believe her last couple. so there's some mobilization. you do, mr. just. ah, just now being stepped a bolt. you answer it, the machine i got boring is being led by the former members of the people's militia gun. yes sir. are grown up men from our population. bagels come out a little,

so you sit and do nothing due to going to come out there. and it also includes, yet they much are officers who saw on the situation and or more with volunteered to help. anyone else go to school? and it was good news that sir, but i never saw the people's movement sofa don, outside of the pilot, sir, that of the big force that they all my team that their executive committee was gonna spell it at new ridge. i went to the recruiting office when i pulled my boat and they signed up. luckily never even to be part of the force they all took apart and the smugglers ation leaving as some of the women behind. so we're confident that we're going to win was room where they are russia or like you by our side, still know where that is huge people supporting us with all of our

positive attitude that we're seeing what we have no right to doubt victory. thank you. thank you, mr. bushland. i thought it was, he was sure that you that was yeah, yeah, he's coming out of mr. tow truck which isn't, i mean i knew thank you friends, i'm happy to welcome you. what is an on this and what's a good day? it is on the 23rd of february and then yes, on the day of the defender of the fatherland. good ways we meet here on this historic landry info, who study city swinger. but as long as they had to wear witnessing a historic step that the don, as kind of the people's republic are recognized as such. should you consider and will stay duma and the federation counselor ratified to at the study skills or instruments yesterday huddled that will lay the foundation was in my these 2 for our corporation rewarded in the future of both vocal so in

terms of economy it would and the development of these territories are going to produce wonderful as social and economic development festival. marty to put it on your skill runs the model number so that the lives of people who live in dawn as candour ganske the golden globules would assure nor my song the least, and have a working infrastructure. and that's all the living conditions that they need in waste 1000000. otherwise, yoga, all these aids would have been vain. rudy, me though, well, but if you go well prevented her bell is a pretty that'll go. it is normal. thank you for talking their language. they tried to bam, people from talking their own language is photos and to honor their history or the history of their land getting it out of their father's mute. they try to break them . so now i feel happiness. i look at this historic decision.
