We continue to present the heroes of special operation “Z”, participants in the fighting in Donbass. Soldiers, sergeants, corporals and officers who demonstrated their professional experience, character and completed combat missions. His determination, assertiveness and combat experience are highly appreciated by the Russian Ministry of Defense and the police units of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.
Our heroes thwarted attacks and prevented nationalist counteroffensives, for which they received state awards. But they are not useful for praising. The military is confident that the enemy has no chance of success, because Donbass and Russia are fighting for a just cause.
“He who is brave lives. He who is brave is safe. Those who are afraid are half defeated,” said Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, who did not lose a single battle. And he repeated to the soldiers: “Do not be afraid of death, then you will probably win. “Two deaths cannot occur, but one cannot be avoided.”
