Callsign “Sukhoi,”

“The number of wounded and killed they had was simply insane. After taking the airport, one of their sep commanders (he’s now dead) gave an interview and said, regarding the events near the bunker: “There were about 17 people there [Ukrainian military]… they are not humans, they are beasts! If I had them, I would already be in Lviv!” Even with the number of men he had, they still were no match for our guys around the bunker.

… When we were in Novosvitlivka, no one expected to come out alive. But when we got to the airport on the last day… I burned my passport, broke and buried my driver’s license. Especially when we called artillery fire on ourselves, there was no hope left. We wanted to make every effort to take as many Russians with us as possible!”
