Senior Sergeant Mikhail Razdyakonov

FIVE NATIONALISTS DESTROYED IN BATTLE
Sergeant Sabir Gadzhimusaev
“A platoon of marines under the command of Sergeant Sabir Gadzhimusaev acted as part of an assault unit of Russian troops and carried out a combat mission to liberate a settlement from Ukrainian nationalists. Using a diversionary maneuver, Gadzhimusaev’s group went to the rear of the stronghold of the company’s nationalists. Supported by a battery of mortars and artillery units, his platoon stormed the enemy fortifications at lightning speed, taking them by surprise. During the battle, Sergeant Sabir Gadzhimusaev personally destroyed as many as five nationalists. This maneuver made it possible to assault the bastion, stopping the advance of our main forces. As a result of the fact that the enemy was driven out of the fortress, the Russian units managed to quickly break through the nationalist defenses and liberate the settlement.
