Sergey Duhnytskyy: Russia stole our land, but did not take our lives
Sergei Duhnytskyy, Lubomilskiy deputy city council chairman Lubomilskiy city organization VO " Freedom & quot ;, - one of many Ukrainian, which is to protect our land from the Russian aggression in the East . On service in the Ukrainian army, his attitude towards mobilestion, the duty to defend the homeland and impressions of the events of the last year was able to talk with him during the short vacation. - Sergei, tell us where you started for the path to the Armed Forces of Ukraine? - It all started a year ago. Arriving from the square after the overthrow of Yanukovych, I enlisted in the military. Even then,felt like hanging clouds over Ukraine and we are facing invasion from Russia. Events developed rapidly, and my hunch, unfortunately, true. Summon the army was the third wave of mobilization. So on September 1, when my son went to university and daughter - in school, I was in the army. It is now six months serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. - Whenlearned that you mobilize as respond to this? - I did not hesitate a moment whether I go or not. Yes, and I was mentally prepared that the war with Russia will sooner or later. If not me, then who then? Those who are agitating against mobilization should realize that he brings this same enemy coming to his home. This is a conscious or unconscious work against their crayiny. And Putin met rubs his hands on it. Russia stops where we allow it to her. In the East Ukrainian soldiers defending from enemy all Ukraine, Volyn, not just Donbass. I am grateful to my wife who supports me and understands. - Where is the service? - Service pass in the 24th mechanized " iron " team Danylo of Galiciath. 92 days spent in the East in the area Bahmutskiy trails in Luhansk region. In January there were pitched battles checkpoints, including 31 known checkpoint. Our team are soldiers from different regions of Ukraine. But most of western and central Ukraine. There are also non-Ukrainians by nationality. Spirit which prevails to the extent satisfied. -As current state of the troops? - Provision of the state is still insufficient, it is no secret - despite considerable channeling funds from the budget. The situation was rescued by volunteers. The weapons we have enough, although it mostly old. But the problem with people and staff more significant. You can even fight fortitude. But find good commanders, military fahiSRO - easy. We need someone to replace and change nothing to anyone. This is our main problem. Authorities regarded the army as something unnecessary. And now that it's difficult times, we are reaping the fruits of incompetence and irresponsibility. - There are a lot of complaints about the actions of the General Staff. As you can appreciate them as an ordinary soldier who is on the front line?- When you stay at the forefront of it once and do not have time to think about the actions of the General Staff, command decision. Not analyzes - think about how to survive. However, being at the front, never did not leave feeling that accumulates enemy forces and ready to go forward, while our tactics command was purely defensive. - You was at the forefront during the so-calledtion Minsk armistice agreement signed in September 2014. What can you say about those days? - The " truce " called a truce on paper. Russian forces have been using this time to regroup own saturation weapon terrorist units. Continuing were shelling our positions. We were tied by hand " truce " and could cause retaliation in response. In January Bahmutskiy track real battle took place on 31 checkpoint. Ukrainian constantly fired units with all weapons. On our site we opposed various groups - from separatists, Russian " kazachkiv " to the regular forces of the Russian Federation. Definitelyoh, ever been more false peace truce like this. Therefore, I am personally very skeptical about the Minsk-2 contracts. Experience shows that contracts with Russia were never worth the paper on which they are signed. - What are the prevailing sentiment among the local population after many months of the war? - We had a lot to communicate with the locals,that there were. At first, when he went to the Donbas, was a different opinion about the mood that prevail there. Now I can say that the support of the local population Ukrainian army is growing. And it felt. People are beginning to realize the truth, who came with fire and sword to their homes. - How to treat new agreements Minsk February 12? - Minsk Agreement moexcept horror provide short lull in the contact line. However, this is a chance for the Russian-terrorist forces to regroup and introduce new units put new party tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery shells. For this kind of enemy stop before preparing for a new leap in Ukrainian lands. Moscow is not only needed Donbass. She Rubbna all Ukraine. They stole our land here, but have not taken our lives. And the struggle will continue. - Once home to two-week vacation, what can you say about your feelings? - When I arrived in Volhynia, then immediately felt a sharp dissonance between events in the East and the passage of life here at home. And throughout Ukraine. As if caught in a different reality. Andwar, battles, blood and death - is in some " lethargic sleep & quot ;. It seems that most people in the country do not even understand what is happening. What Donbas is a real war. And God forbid that they know about it.
