About "#Cyborgs" of #Donetskairport: "They survived, concrete did not survive." This definition best illustrates the victory of the defenders of #Mariupol. 🇷🇺 almost wiped out the city of half a million people, but 🇷🇺 does not have the weapons to break their spirits.
(1/8)
One of these heroes is a very young commander of the #Azov's squadron, Lev Pashko. He came to Azov in 2017, when he was eighteen, and the young man chose the nickname "#Horus" - the name of the ancient #Egyptian god of hunting, sky and war.

On March 26, from the side of #Gnutove, 🇷🇺 made another attempt to break through the defenses of the defenders of #Mariupol. A convoy of 🇷🇺 5 tanks and 2 IFV drove into the city. A group of guardsmen under the command of Lieutenant Pashko came out to meet 🇷🇺 .

When 🇷🇺 equipment appeared, Lev confidently aimed a grenade launcher at one of 🇷🇺 IFV-2s. Infantry began to jump out of the burning car, but the second shot was not long in coming and eight invaders died in the #Ukrainian steppe.

🇷🇺 continued to throw manpower and equipment at #Mariupol and, despite fierce #resistance from the #Ukrainian garrison, squeezed the ring around the city. On April 1, 🇷🇺 detachment went to the outskirts of Mariupol and set out to equip a checkpoint.

Lieutenant Pashko was well aware that the enemy unit outnumbered the Azovs both in numbers and weapons, and that it was covered on several sides by artillery. But despite all this, "Horus" decided to storm.

At 15:30 he planned the actions of subordinates, proved the order of nomination and work of each of the subordinates, and at 16:45 at the site of the enemy checkpoint majors flag of #Ukraine 🇺🇦

For personal courage and heroism shown in defense of state sovereignty and territorial integrity of 🇺🇦, selfless service to 🇺🇦 people by Decree of @ZelenskyyUa Lieutenant Lev Pashko was awarded the title of Hero of 🇺🇦 with the Order of the Golden Order.
Glory to the Heroes!

⚡What #Ukraine needs asap to win the war: Air-Defense Systems. @KpsZSU
You might have seen that the US 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.
(1/9)
🇷🇺air force is enormous, over 10 times as large as @KpsZSU. Without sufficient anti-aircraft systems, 🇷🇺will have free reign to destroy everything – artillery, command posts, tanks and entire 🇺🇦 cities.
(2/9)
That is precisely why at the beginning of the invasion 🇷🇺 was trying hard to achieve air dominance. If they succeed, it will just be a matter of time until 🇷🇺wins the war.

The recently formed special forces unit of #Azov (their brothers-in-arms heroically hold the defense of #Azovstal in #Mariupol) spent two weeks on a combat mission in one of the hottest areas of the #Zaporizhya direction.

Despite the fact that 🇷🇺 systematically used #aircraft and #artillery, the special forces gave a decent rebuff and occupied new frontiers.

"The guys showed their best side", - the unit commander "Tooth" told our correspondent.

"We can repeat" - a sacred phrase used by #Russians over the past few years, has now taken on a completely different meaning - not the one our grandfathers put in when they defeated #Nazism in #WorldWarII.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, 🇷🇺 troops have repeated the crimes of the #Nazis, committing atrocities against #Ukrainian children, women and the elderly…

But the list of what modern 🇷🇺 inherited from #NaziGermany does not end there…
The hero of #Ukraine Oleksandr Tsyupak was the pride of a 14th separate mechanized brigade.

The brothers-in-arms assure that Oleksandr wasn't only an incredible professional and the pride of a separate mechanized brigade, but also the soul of the company. So he joked, even in extremely difficult situations.

His #war began in April 2014, when he was urgently called up to the military unit. Then he received a difficult and responsible task: to organize a squadron-tactical group and teach people to fight.

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.

👊🏻 У 2015 обороняв Україну на сході, а нині – на південних рубежах.
— Ми готові гнати ворога, поки стане сил, поки війна не закінчиться нашою перемогою! — переконаний морпіх.
