“Before the assault, we chose certain tactics: the number of people and military groups. Each group had its task. My responsibility as a commander was to lead people, control the course of the battle, and show confidence and authority. If my people see the passion and fighting spirit in my eyes, they will follow me to the end and be motivated themselves,” shares Serhii.
A few days later, Serhii will be wounded during the assault and will spend several months in the hospital. Now, he is back and fighting again.
