- Is it a drone? - Country, attention! The sky!
- Oh! There! - Yes I see!
- With wings!
- I see a bird with wings, a big one! - The same one flew yesterday. - The same?
- Let's hide. Come here.
- What did just happen? - The bird is flying. Artillery works. Here is the artillery.
- Now it will fly over us. It turned around!
There!
- Zooparks have too much radiation. When it is deployed to the Kharkov direction, they immediately fire at it.
Then the Zoopark was placed behind the line. But taking into account our firings and theirs, while you try to figure it out, the artillery flies away.
Grad releases packages in 30 seconds and then leaves. In the meantime, the Zoopark will determine what and from where, too much time will pass.
This is a stage already passed.
- Is it actually possible for us to get Lancets at all?
- Are you standing at the entrance again? - In depth. - We're inside. - Are you standing there so that they can see where to go? - No.
- What happened now? - Khokhols are shelling us.
- It was closer. - How far? - 300-400 meters. But it landed very close. - This means that *indistinct speech* is very close. - That's right.
- Kirill, doesn't it fly through the forest belt there? Or to the right? - Damn, I'll go out now and Dmitry Sergeevich will say hello to me.
- Did you hear the exit and arrival at once? - Yes. Somewhere near. - Quite near. - What is this weapon? - Fuck knows. Howitzer most likely.
- And is it like this every day? - Yes. - Yes Yes.
- Do you know what kind of drone it was? - No. This is something new they have.
- Was it a drone? - No, a copter that was flying, with wings. I don't know what kinds of copters they have with wings.
- It's very close, isn't it? - Yes. - How far do you think? - I think 1.5-2 km maximum.
- It seems like this is TOS.
- This is Grad standing..
- No, another buzz. As if the saw is somewhere far away. - Again? - Now I hear it.
- Is everything ok? - Good luck to everybody! Goodbye!
- Can you introduce yourself? - I can’t hear you well…
- Who are you? Introduce yourself. - I’m Khomyak.
- Really? What troops? - Infantry.
- Russian or DPR? - Russian.
- Where are you from? - From Siberia.
- Are you mobilized or..? - No. I’m on my own. I do not get under mobilization.
- Okay, I see. And what is this place? Where are we now? - We? In our Russia.
- Really? - Yes. We are here. So this is our place.
- Okay, I see. We can hear the shooting. Is there a battle? - As usual. As every day. It’s a frontline.
- What is the situation here? - It depends. For me, it’s okay. For somebody, it is not.
- Can you introduce yourself? - Come again!
- Can you introduce yourself? - Im Mobilized.
- Mobilized, right? Russia or… LPR? - Russia.
- Where are you from? - The Leningrad region.
- When have you been mobilized? - Immediately when it started. On the 24th, if I’m not mistaken. Of September. Or on the 25th.
- Okay, I see. And where are we now? - We? Near Makeevka. The village of Makeevka, then goes Krasnorechensk.
- It’s the LPR, right? - Yes.
- How far away are the Ukrainians? - Judging by the incoming shells, not so far away. Judging by the “disco” that happens from time to time.
- What is this sound now? - Most probably, it’s our Grad. Maybe ours, maybe not. They have weapons, we have weapons. Almost an equal fight.
- What is your profession? - I’m a hand-to-hand combat coach. I trained children and adults.
- Is it all the time like this? - Here? All the time. It’s even quiet now. The “disco” can go “funnier”.
- So the Ukrainians are over there, right? Is that tree we can see over there marks their position? - Trenches. Excuse me.
- Where is your burrow?
- What’s happened? - Maybe there is a drone. Maybe the artillery will work now. Sit here with me! Anything can happen now.
The lower you are the better. They work with clusters, helicopters, tanks. When we were on the frontline. Thus, they have basically everything. We also have something.
Something we also haven’t seen. Something like that. I’m 22 years old. I’m turning 23 on December 2.
- Really? - Yes.
The food is more or less good. I’m not lying if I say that breakfast and lunch are hot.
You can distinguish by the sound. Now you can hear that it flies in that direction. When if flies towards you, it gives another sound. Now it was the work of our guys.
From Polish mortars, you can hear an incoming shell. Usually, you can hear a launch. But from Polish ones, you can hear only its landing. It’s very fast.
- Are there many Polish ones? - There are some. Already 200 on that side.
- Have you ever shot before the mobilization? - Yes, sure, certainly so, I served in the army.
- Oh, so you have had some training, right? - I served. As for training… Yes, there were exercises in Luga.
- What do you think why you have been mobilized? - I can’t answer this question. Most probably, it should be so.
- Are you glad about it or not? - There is a life before it and after. And I’d better save the life before the mobilization than have it as it is after it. Otherwise…
- What are your future plans? - First of all, to get back home. All the rest, we’ll see.
- Who is waiting for you there? - My girlfriend, parents, sisters and brothers.
- You can say hello to them.
- Hello? Mom, dad, hello! Katyushka, hello! Grandpa, grandma, uncle, hello to everybody! Syomik, Liza, hello! Vanyukha, hello!
- Hello to each of you, my dears! I love you so much! I miss you! Something like this…
Well, it seems like you can go. It seems like it stopped. The vehicles moved on. The situation is getting better. This means we will win!
