“My Ivan has both a father and a brother who are soldiers. He himself always burned in military service. Despite the fact that my husband and I had a small family affair, he always wanted to return to the National Guard, constantly kept in touch with his brothers. I remember how, at the beginning of the war, we were driving through the city, and Ivan saw his former brothers in full gear, and his eyes lit up. The next day, the man said he was going to war. I supported his decision. In a few days Ivan died,” recalls the wife of the guard Victoria.
