Commander of the 58th Ivan Vyhovsky separate motorized infantry brigade Col. Dmytro Kaschenko.
"Despite intelligence data, few believed that 🇷🇺 would attack #Kyiv, #Chernihiv… we expected aggravations in the #Donetsk region, and here we relied more on the deterrent.

We knew that the #Russians kept a certain number of troops at the border, but there was a feeling of muscle play - look what we have.

But the invasion began, and not only our brigade, but also part of the Armed Forces brigades were hit on the march. I had to occupy a large line of defense - up to 270 km.

We understood that we could find ourselves surrounded without the possibility of ammunition delivery and lose everything. The ammunition would run out in a week, the city would be destroyed, and what to do next?

Surrendering to captivity is not an option, so it was decided to move closer to #Chernihiv by the #Moscow highway, between #Kipty and #Konotop".

Перший бойовий досвід воїн отримав у складі миротворчої місії у колишній Югославії, де разом з побратимами із 240-го окремого спецбатальйону вони врятували не одну тисячу життів цивільних.

What #Ukraine needs asap to win the war: heavy #artillery
You might have seen that 🇺🇲 is already helping a lot. This is true. #Ukrainians are thankful a lot. But it’s not enough for 🇺🇦 to protect the whole world from a massive threat to humanity.
(1/8)
Artillery is the “bread and butter” of war. Ukraine’s “main” artillery calibers are 122 and 152 mm. The problem with 152 mm is that #Ukraine DOES NOT produce ammo of this type (all it has is the legacy from the Soviet war machine).
(2/8)
Thus, even though 🇺🇦has 152 mm cannons, it is quickly running out of ammo. Given the intensity of the conflict, it won’t be long before 🇺🇦 doesn’t have any 152 mm ammo left. If that happens, 🇺🇦 forces won’t be able to shoot back, and 🇷🇺artillery will overwhelm them.

Dear our brothers in arms!

Today, your professional holiday is the Day of the Border Guard of #Ukraine. We had to live and serve in the most difficult times, when a vile enemy attacked our country and a 🇷🇺 boot trampled on the blessed #Ukrainian land.
(1/6) Image
You, the border guards, were the first to fight #Putin's horde and proved with your courage that #Ukrainian soldiers will destroy the invaders to the last breath.
(2/6)
On the Day of the Border Guard of #Ukraine, we want to wish undoubtedly the most desirable thing for every #Ukrainian - a peaceful sky overhead. After all, it is during the war that the true price of peace becomes clear.

"Dad continues to protect us, we just had to give his body to God so that Dad could become an Angel," were the words of the wife of pilot and Hero of 🇺🇦 Hennadiy Matulyak, whose father died defending 🇺🇦, for her little daughter.
🕯Today, April 29, the officer would be 45.

On the morning of February 25, an officer destroyed a convoy near #Gostomel and flew to work on the #Kyiv region again.

The hope that everything is fine, there is simply no way to call, was interrupted by a message to wife Olga from a resident of one of the villages of #Vyshhorod district: "Are you sometimes not the wife of Hennadiy Matulyak?". Then there was a photo of his passport.
