"You don’t realize how this day ends. People answer that we failed. How can you leave your land? Ours are here, our others will not come. And it depends only on us what will happen here in Donetsk.

Phrase of the day. If the enemy passes through my regiments, I will not know about it, because I will fight to the end. It was said by one of the commanders of a unit in Maryanka.

You know, I read another opinion of journalist Sergey Mirkin from Donetsk. He writes that we can argue that yes, we are not like them. We can say that revenge is something from the Middle Ages. But revenge is first of all a way to make the enemy afraid. And until Ukraine becomes wildly afraid of Russia, the strikes on Donetsk and other Russian cities will not stop. Ukraine just needs retaliation.

What do you think? Alexander, you said that this won’t change anything. But the same Sladkov says that if we don’t demolish Kiev today, this hell will continue without any stopping in Donetsk. It will never end."
