RT tracked down Russian servicemen who carried out a special mission in the Kyiv direction last spring. The fighters held the defense to the last, and then they had to take refuge in the basement of a private house.

On a cargo van, which was given to them by a local resident, they were able to reach their own, slipping past the Ukrainian military and the checkpoint. The owner of the house in which there were wounded soldiers turned out to be a Russian who moved to Ukraine in the 1990s.
