War, love, the loss of combat brothers, traumas and war again. All of this is about our defender Sergii. He went to war as volunteer fighter in the memory of his friend who died defending Luhansk airport.Telling us this story Sergii remembering his friend Toshika, that wanted to be like him. He always said: “ Sergii I will be like you. We together will celebrate August 2nd( Day of Ukrainian Armed Forces). I will get the same tattoo as you, you will be my brother”.After his friend died Sergii started to defend his native land at the age of 24.The first person he met was lieutenant Dmitro. He was not only his combat brother but also became his friend. Together they shoulder by shoulder came not an easy way. Sergii felt that he can do more and give better results. And that he did. He fixed many cars. He also met the love of his life being at that time in Anti Terrorist Operations. And after they were transfer to infantry that was based in Taramchytzi ( East of Ukraine). And even though at that time it was no war but it was Secret Subversive Groups, snipers and shootings. That’s where he and his girlfriend tried to survive. Because separatists were very close. Like Sergii said with occupiers it was like duel of machine gunners.Sergii remembers that silent mode was not followed by the separatists. This silent mode that everyone was so actively talked about. During our talk our defender told us more about his brave combat brothers. He remembers where he was, when the full scale war started. It happened in one of block posts in Luhansk region.
