“Sasha was a very kind person, he always knew how to defuse the situation, helped everyone who needed it. When we were leaving for the rotation, Sasha said he would get married when he returned, but that mine cut his life off. We knew that they had made a mine barrier there, but there was no communication with the guys, we did not have time to warn them,” Valery told the brothers of the fallen defender.
