it was cold, and i was sitting, i had a pea coat, a bulletproof vest on top, a hat, so i'm sitting, i'm hot, and i think i need to take off the pea coat to make it easier, i took off the bulletproof vest, took off the pea coat, i'm wounded, he says, put it back on, i say, of course, i'll put it on, i put on the bulletproof vest, the rest of the gear remained, at about 10 in the morning the column was ambushed. the nazis first knocked out the lead patrol in an armored car, all the scouts died. the first shell flew in, apparently, that's what we understood, then it hit a pole of ours, well, it hit a pole and hit the first car with scouts, no one got out, no one got out of them, flew into the reconnaissance car, shrapnel from it already hit our car. then they transferred fire to the

medics' car, we are sitting further, all our guys who were wounded jumped out, except for two, katya and i stayed with the lying ones, we tried to evacuate them too by... by the car along this wall just on the right, more bullets started firing as if they were shooting, ringing off, it's already flying about the tour right into the car, right into the car, just a heat flashed, put your hands to your face, bend over and katya leaned over closed the fighter the second fighter he himself went back down, lay down, then we raise

our heads, just darkness, ringing in the ears, a hole in that wall, katya is sitting, this one is also trying to come to his senses, i look in well it turns out in the wall of the car, such a hole, so i start moving my hands, like this, i think, if there is a hole in the car, then probably there is a hole in me too, i think, my hands are moving, so everything is fine, how did you do it, why did you reject at that moment?

i can't get through to masha, she is busy, she is busy, i dreamed of her in a dream, she is small to me, five or six years old, and i lost her, somewhere we are in an unknown place, walking with her, she suddenly disappears from me, i run, look for her, ask everyone, have you ever seen such a girl, dressed like this, every night i wake up in a sweat, and i run, scream, down the street, calling her, she does not answer, then i wake up, lie for two or three hours, do not sleep,

fall asleep, where i left off, the dream continues, that's when, all the time, i lie down, get up, pray, ask god for everything to be okay, all the time for them, all the time for all three of us, i don't know how my heart is all this withstood, when everything around is whistling, blood is pouring, wounded people are screaming in pain, you have to pull yourself together, mobilize and do your job, it's difficult, almost impossible.

it's hard to do, you need to jump and not lose your balance, not fall. the next thing that comes to mind is the doctor, i turn around, katya is already lying on the ground. and my jacket is completely filled with blood, this is how the hood is gathered, the guys cut me, put a bandage on me, masha ran up, she also tied tourniquets on me promedol, in that moment, when the sleeve was full of blood, the thought came to mind, why did i even get here, at that moment i had thoughts a... if my arm, i think, were torn off, what kind of prosthesis would i buy for myself, i think, what kind of prosthesis would i walk with, i think, yes, i would feel normal with a prosthesis, well, those were some kind of thoughts, then they injected this promedol, there were such sensations, well, a surge of some kind of vigor, then on the contrary, you have no strength, to such an extent that i fell to the ground,

that's exactly dorvo, you had such a feeling, which is just downright awful, a comrade also came up, he had blood running from his head, he was knocked out. and then the officers who were with us in other cars, they tell us: let's go towards the populated area, we need to move, because the shelling continued, war is a merciless joke, either you kill or you are killed, and it is also mean, because the enemy was shooting specifically at the ambulance with the red cross, he wanted to finish off the wounded without... people, so we headed towards the populated area, it really was like in a movie, and in a half-dozen, on all fours , you already understand that you are not on all fours, they can

hit you at full height, you sit down again. then they put katya and me in the bmp on beads, yes, the back one opens, two doors open, so they put katya in, and i sat down, i try to hold her, because the promedol starts to work, katya, okay, and the door is closed, they didn’t close it, it’s heavy, i can’t press it down normally . and our boys also lay on top, they

were lying with machine guns, because there were more coming after us they were shooting on foot, shooting back.

we set out on it, they told us to follow the tracks, navigate, you'll get to your own. masha remembered one detail that was deeply imprinted in her memory. when we were setting out , already in a civilian vehicle, there was a bicycle in the field, an open field, the bicycle was standing, yes, there was some kind of bag on it, katya said that it was... i dreamed about the bicycle almost every night, literally a month after all this happened, because well, the thought always arises, why is it standing there, it's not just standing there, maybe it has some kind of explosives there there was a group of russian soldiers in an old lada with wounded and nurses approaching

the road along which armored vehicles were moving, they were lucky, they were ours, we see a convoy coming , they also need to refuel, apparently. another convoy was already ours, but not from our unit, so we all ran out of the car, started waving, that these were ours, just don't shoot us, please. so they stopped, we jumped into these cars in the convoy, it turns out, and drove to ours, then the hospital meeting with my mother, when maria was already transported here to the hospital, she finally got there, they lowered me down to her, you see, i saw a child that wasn’t mine, i didn’t see my daughter, i saw a little woman who had experienced such a tragedy, that is, on her face this was imprinted to such an extent, here are her eyes, the thing that

struck me most of all, they were extinguished, and i was afraid, i understood that physically, of course, now they will cure her, she will be there , well, the rehabilitation is long, but this can be fixed somehow, i was afraid that her eyes will stop shining, this little sun, this... joy will never return, literally a couple of days later i saw that half of her hair had turned grey, that is, she sat, well, probably three weeks passed, and now i see she slowly began to come to life, to come to herself, and the first sparkle in her eyes appeared at that moment, i came to visit her in the hospital, i came every day after work and there was a guy sitting there also after. and

his mother asks him, my god, what is this girl doing here, this is supposed to be a hospital, and he turns around and says: "mom, you know that if it weren't for this girl, i might not be sitting here with you, i can't stop crying." "i'm generally an emotional person , i have everything at once, it's all for a reason, what do you think , definitely, it's not for nothing, can you explain, in their life, every person, sooner or later, faces a choice, they look for their path, they have their own priorities , one lives for themselves, and another lives for others, i understand that this is a lot of grief, but on the other hand, if it weren't for my child then who would have been there? and

masha confirms my words, she is asked many times, why haven't you left yet, after all you had a choice, just take a civilian job to pursue your favorite profession, which she didn't think about, she always says the same thing, who if? not me, as a mother, for me, of course, it is very painful, i understand other parents, especially those who have lost children, it is very painful, but on the other hand, who if not our children, who if not us, if we were faced with such a question or such a dilemma during the great patriotic war, what would have happened then, what what happened to our country, what would have happened to us and would we even exist?

a year has passed since that terrible day, today they both continue to serve. masha is a cardiac surgeon, she does what she loves, saves people. katya serves as a military felcher and also saves people does what she loves. every day she goes for a run and prepares for the future marathon. the calm girls survived the terrible moments of their lives with dignity, courage and patience. yes, there was such an incident during the war with masha and katya, but it did not crush them, did not smear, but gave an impulse to love life even more to serve your homeland. are you not disappointed in the situation you found yourself in, now no, everything that does not happen is for the better, why? because everything that befalls us in life, i believe, so that we go through it,

reconsider something in ourselves, somehow change either our views, or our life, or attitude to something that surrounds you, as literally 2 days ago a patient told me during a dressing: can you imagine, i said i told my people to leave me, they he says they carried me to the forest, they didn't leave me for 2 hours, he says they carried me.

no bullet, it just moved, call an ambulance quickly, on march 14 at 11:31 a.m., the ukrainian armed forces struck the center of donetsk with a missile. they struck the city. where almost only women, old people and children remained. the men went to the front. the strike hit the city center, which is always crowded. 23 people died, more than thirty were wounded. children were among the victims of the war crime. the missile strike on donetsk made no sense from the point of view of military strategy.

the goal is one: to intimidate, to take revenge, to punish the disobedient once again. donbass is too russian to let it not just live in peace, but to let it survive at all. darling, let me die in peace, give me some painkillers. you have some kind of number.

you know, these are those who have not seen another reality, they have very serious eyes and they are silent, i talked to children there, they really do not like to answer questions, i remember a boy in 2015 - in pervomaisk, he asked me, when people's legs and arms are torn off by an explosion, where do they put them later, well, that's it legs and arms, can do something like that, i think, as if one people, it turned out not so, not even close, just donbass for them is damn, so people of the second

soldier, we can’t do anything, we don’t know anything, we don’t want anything and it will be as they said, but they didn’t guess, well, nothing will work out for them, i believed and knew that sooner or later this day will come when we will liberate ukraine from these nazi formations of the president.

from the kiev regime, and for this we will strive for demilitarization and denazification of ukraine, as well as bringing to justice those who committed numerous... bloody crimes against civilians, including citizens of the russian federation. i

always believe that at the moment there is a struggle of good, this is the russian slavic world, with its values, with its culture, against evil. i will allow myself to quote the words of adolf eichmann, who said that in order to destroy a nation, you must first destroy

the children, because if you kill their parents, the children will grow up and will definitely take revenge, but if you kill children, they will never will not grow the nation will disappear. we need a victory, if it requires cutting out all your families, i will be one of the first to do it.

there were proposals to raise european prices for utilities, for energy, well, the people were unenlightened, no one explained it. opposition leaders blamed russia for all the troubles of unfortunate ukraine. the striking force of maidan was the militants of ultra-right organizations. a radical minority, it was. clearly a minority, and for us, for ordinary people, it did not cause, that is, serious danger, in our opinion,

when maidan was jumping there, for example, i went to work here, was busy with work, family, we were shaking our heads, watching how they were there, even sympathizing with them, we were watching how they were freezing there on maidan, all the events took place in the center. well, that's wrong, shooting started on maidan, they started killing guys who were protecting, so to speak, law and order, this is berkutomon. i

went to serve in the internal troops on a contract, we were immediately thrown into a military unit they threw us along the institute, we were standing there, we met those first waves of nationalists, for the first time, as we saw, they were burning with molotov cocktails, we really encountered an aggressive wild crowd. they just crushed us like a battering ram, then they brought up another bulldozer, they started pushing us back with a bulldozer, they started crushing our shields, they pushed everything back, that was the first time i saw what they were capable of, just crushing a person with equipment, then they started throwing molotov cocktails, one comrade from my military unit was there with me, but he was very badly injured, that was the first time i saw it

saw, for the integrity of ukraine at the moment. before 1917, ukraine did not exist. the overthrow of the monarchy in february 17 provoked active territorial redistribution in the west of russia. the first to speak out were ukrainian nationalists, who formed the central rada.

people gathered in kiev, appointed themselves representatives of the ukrainian public, and proclaimed this republic, the ukrainian people's republic, the upr. the concept of ukrainian in the seventeenth and eighteenth years did not have an ethnic character, they meant belonging to some ukrainian political party. lenin's bolsheviks, they came to power under this slogan. every territory where a certain nationality lives has the right. to separate from russia, well, they thought that the revolution that took place on the territory of historical russia was the initial stage of the world revolution, there would be no borders tomorrow. what is important for us is not where the state border is, but that the union between workers of all nations is preserved to fight the bourgeoisie, of any nations. this is a quote from lenin. complete works, volume 35.

the ukrainian people also declared their national independence.

a project for the preservation of these territories, industrial territories as part of the russian state, and by elected delegates who had the authority to do so, these were deputies from the councils of the then official government, and the donetsk-krivoy rog republic, it occupied a space that was extended to zaporizhzhya, kherson, part of the nikolaev, dnepropetrovsk, kharkov, sumy regions, this is a very large territory, this is russian-speaking population, cities with russian culture, they believed that the donetsk-krivoy rog republic should become part of the russian federation. then in 1918, even a slogan poster appeared: donbass is the heart of russia, that is, the russians who inhabited the then still very conditional ukraine wanted to live in the future soviet russia. however, lenin refuses the donbass workers. in a letter, ardzhunik dzon reports.
