There is no one, silence all around," said "Maestro". by Vera Perun Stormtrooper 80 Separate Air Assault Brigade Mykola with the call sign "Maestro" took part in the liberation of Klishchiivka. As "Ukrainian Witness" told, several months ago he went on his first assault. Currently, "Maestro" commands the unit. According to the soldier, it was very difficult to free Klishchiivka. "I lost a friend and comrades. The commander reported on the radio that "Boroda" (call sign) was "two hundredth". It was difficult to hear that, and then to see him," said "Maestro". The fighter recalled that he and his comrades captured the commander of the assault group of the "Akhmat" battalion. "After the assault, we covered the sappers. Suddenly we heard: someone was crawling behind us. Maybe he thought it was his own, or maybe he was following us. But he still won't tell the truth," the soldier added. "Maestro" said that there are currently no residents in Klishchiivka. "When you enter Klishchiivka, it becomes eerie. Not because there might be a flight, but because the village is empty. There is no one, silence all around," the fighter added. It will be recalled that the settlement was liberated in September by the 80th Assault Brigade, the 5th Assault Brigade, and the "Lyut" Brigade. Subsequently, the Armed Forces reported that the de-occupation of Klishchiivka created a springboard for the further offensive of the Defense Forces. This allowed Ukrainian units to control the logistical routes by which the Russian army supplies captured Bakhmut. |
