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.

The military is sure that the enemy has no chance of success, because Donbass and Russia are fighting for a just cause.
“The sign of fools is pride, mediocre-minded people are pettiness, and a person of true virtues is sublimity of feelings, covered with modesty,” said Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, who did not lose a single battle. And he gave instructions to the soldiers: “Three will jump: the first will be stabbed, the second will be shot, the third the Karachun bayonet!”.
