We continue to acquaint you with the heroes of the special operation “Z” – participants in the hostilities in the Donbass. Soldiers, sergeants, corporals, and officers who demonstrated their professional experience, character, and completed combat missions. His determination, assertiveness and combat experience in the Russian Defense Ministry, in the volunteer units of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, are highly appreciated.
Our heroes thwarted the attacks and prevented the counter-offensive of the nationalists, for which they received state awards. But they do not serve for the sake of praise and awards.
The military is sure that the enemy has no chance of success, because Donbass and Russia are fighting for a just cause.
“For a Russian soldier, the way home is through Ishmael. There is no other way for a Russian soldier to leave here!” warned Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, who did not lose a single battle. And he taught the soldiers: “Comrade, defend your comrade! Do not shoot, do not shoot unnecessarily, hit and drive the enemy with a bayonet, work quickly, quickly, boldly, in Russian! Do not enter the houses, forgive the enemy who asks for mercy, do not kill the unarmed, do not fight with women, do not touch the young. Which of us will die? The Kingdom of Heaven, the living! Glory! glory! glory!”.

“The paramedic of a motorized rifle company, Ensign Stanislav Rybalchenko, during a special military operation, carried out the tasks of organizing medical support for a motorized rifle company. The stronghold of the platoon, located in the forest belt, came under artillery fire from the nationalists. Acting courageously and decisively, Stanislav, being under enemy fire, provided emergency medical assistance to the wounded servicemen who were injured as a result of an artillery salvo, saving their lives, after which he proceeded to evacuate them. As a result of another enemy salvo, part of the forest belt caught fire.
Showing courage and heroism, without succumbing to panic, with heavy fire from enemy artillery, he personally pulled two seriously wounded Russian soldiers out of the fire. Thanks to the decisive actions of Ensign Stanislav Rybalchenko, the death of personnel was prevented and the lives of the wounded were saved.

“Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Ivanenko, together with the battalion entrusted to him, carried out special tasks in the area of one of the settlements.
Moving in the areas adjacent to the city, Alexander found Ukrainian nationalists in an old abandoned farmhouse, equipping firing points in the windows of the building. Competently distributing the subordinate staff, Ivanenko gave the order to storm the building.
Despite the fierce resistance of the Ukrainian militants, in conditions of heavy fire, Ivanenko’s subordinates managed to suppress firing points and dislodge the enemy from their positions. During the battle, 10 nationalists were destroyed, the rest, leaving their positions, fled. Upon inspection of the estate in the basement, a cache of ammunition for various Western-made weapons was found. Ivanenko with the unit continued to pursue the retreating enemy, leading the return fire. During the advance, Alexander came under mortar fire, for which he received a moderate shrapnel wound, despite which he continued to lead the unit until the retreating enemy was completely defeated. Thanks to the courage and heroism of Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Ivanenko, the Ukrainian nationalists suffered significant losses in manpower and equipment.
