The employee of special forces “alpha” in the resignation of Andrei Dubovik told me that when on the road stopped several cars, out jumped people with guns, tactical glasses and earplugs in my ears and started to shoot them.

“Two people shoot me in the chest. Hand reflexively clenched. I have it from 5 feet too, I put together. From the machine, put polmagazina in it,” said the former commando.

Andrew showed the wallet, which he wears until now – the bullet pierced all the documents left intact, only the icon. In that battle he had horrific injuries – punctured lungs, liver, thigh and one bullet grazed the shell of the heart.

The then Deputy head of the SBU Victor Yagun recognizes that in 2014, a full-scale war was not prepared or Armed forces, or even the SBU.

“We were not even armed. I personally was then a traumatic gun and two magazines of ammunition,” – said Yagun.

Over the last four years the situation has changed. The enemy has long been hesitant to act openly. The head of the antiterrorist operation in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions Michael Zabrodsky emphasizes: Ukraine lost many men, but received the army – a real army.
