“Paratrooper. In 2014, I passed almost everything, including the Donetsk airport. He remained so with calm phlegm. Loved and was grateful for Come Back Alive. He didn’t know how to lie, because everything was written on his honest little childish face, ”Deinega wrote.

Even if you just go to work. Do it best. Pay taxes. Help the army. Get ready to defend your city or village. Let rage burn fear, weakness, indecision, despondency in you. So that your hand does not know hesitation when its time comes, ”Deynega wrote.
