Fought for Rubizhne and Lysychansk and Repelled Enemy Assaults in the East: the Story of a Guardsman from Severodonetsk
Zemlyak - an officer of the 15th Slavic regiment told about the battles of his unit in Donetsk and Luhansk region. The man decided to defend Ukraine when he was only 17 years old.
Then he entered the National Academy of the National Guard of Ukraine. After 4 years of training, he received the rank of officer and went to the East.
“After graduating from the academy, I joined the rifle battalion of the 15th Slavic Regiment, located in the Rubezhny Luhansk region [now a Russian-occupied city]. There, last year, I faced a full-scale war. He took part in the battles not only for Rubezhnaya, but also for Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, then in the Majorsk direction,” Zemlyak says.
He now fights in the forests of Kremina. The direction is difficult, the guys have to constantly repel the actions of small assault groups. In some places, the situation is so aggravated that they had to call artillery fire on themselves, says the national guard.
“Raised my hand higher to go on the air. He called fire just on his dungeon. The tank worked. At first, a little further. Then closer. Peeked out - the enemy was still around the dungeon. My fighter, wounded, asks: “Do we surrender to captivity?” I answered him: “We do not surrender, load the cartridges!” - recalls the compatriot, how he repelled one of such attacks of the enemy.
The compatriot dreams of the only thing - after the victory to return home to Severodonetsk.
