"We advanced to the stronghold [of the enemy]. Let's go, go, I already see - parapets ... And from behind the branch breaks down, just the branch falls ... And they open fire on us. Well, [it becomes clear that] there will be no success: we have already been noticed, so we decided to roll back. Maybe thanks to this branch, we are all alive and departed. Because there were a lot of trunks. According to preliminary data, there may be five or six people sitting, but, as it turned out, there were up to 15," he said.
