As RT’s interlocutor said, he volunteered for a special operation when his contract ended after military service. Just three months later, in September 2022, he received his first medal: in a forest belt he had mined in the Kherson direction, a large group of Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel was blown up.
In June 2023, a military man miraculously survived the blowing up of a dam at the Kakhovka hydroelectric station by Ukrainian militants. Together with other paratroopers, he helped save the residents of Novaya Kakhovka, for which he received the Suvorov medal.
In July 2023, the paratrooper received the Zhukov medal for distinction in service, and in September - the medal “For Bravery” for the destruction of Ukrainian saboteurs with a rocket-propelled assault grenade.
The attack aircraft went through all the battles with a stuffed rabbit, Jumbo, which he bought before being sent to the Northern Military District and considers it his talisman.
Earlier, military correspondent Vlad Andritsa published a video of the work of the Russian Armed Forces against the Ukrainian military trying to gain a foothold in Kleshcheevka.
