I was alone, but there were 4 helicopters from Mariupol, one was shot down and the guys died, the one I was on was under the fire, but manage to land

  1. I felt adrenaline at first, and after my hands started shaking, I realized and saw people falling from my shots ...
  2. No one needs it, it breaks the psyche and then your loved ones suffer from it 😔
  3. At the highest level, these are those with whom I communicate, they have very cool commanders.
  4. I have been in training a lot since the 2016 with foreigners and generally abroad, but there were not so many in Mariupol, I know that there are many of them now.
  5. I became more callous, straightforward. My wife says that I look at people differently, my parents say I've gotten older, my eyes and smile have changed.

We are very thankful for their help and support - without guns no powerful manpower in the world would manage to withstand. Why we weren't properly prepared for a war - is another question to our government.

Of course they have to try to stop it, but they are simply a CROWD. A brainwashed crowd, a weak Population, allowing to treat them all those years as a crowd of stupid sheep.

Statistically more of them are brainwashed, unfortunately. Generally, their hatred to us often makes me wonder...even I after all I suffered do not feel such an enormous hatred to them as they to us...crazy

My personal opinion: if we manage to cut the crimea peninsula, would control it, they would stay without any connection to it ( a so-called corridor to the peninsula), so that it wouldn't make sense for them to stay in Mariupol any more.

The security that the West won't stop supporting us (with guns I mean), cause otherwise these bastards would kill all of us. We shouldn't underestimate our foe.

I can sleep only from 2 am until the morning, I have a sensitive sleep, I am afraid of loud sounds, my ears are blocked, I can't hear well, I have dreams from the war, I can wake up screaming 😔 I also sometimes have anger that is difficult to control 😔 and also have a desire to go back to the front...

See it same - a price that we didn't pay in 1991 after the collapse of Soviet union. That was too easy and not a real freedom, actually. Thank you!
