The military spoke about the first battles in Mariupol direction. The video was published by the Military Television of Ukraine.
Soldiers of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade were already carrying out their assigned mission when the enemy launched a full-scale invasion.
On the beginning of the war
The soldier entered the rotation with his brethren in December. According to him, serious fighting began on February 16, but there were breaks.
On February 24 at about 4:30 we heard a huge number of volleys (shot from artillery systems), we did not immediately realize that a full-scale invasion had begun. The shelling first began at mortar positions: Vodyanoye, Shirokino, Gnutovo, but they didn’t hit any target, the soldier said.

Further, according to him, the infantrymen received the command and went into battle.
We received targets, completed tasks and heard the sounds of “hail”. They began to fall in front of us, we fell into the trench, I turned my head and after 5-6 meters I saw how the “hailstone” was bursting, – the infantryman recalled.
Maxim also noted that his evacuation was almost the last. First, he was taken to Mariupol, but when civilians began to arrive at local hospitals and there were not enough places, an order was received to evacuate to the Dnieper.
“At the end of February, as we flew, it was three helicopters. All three they tried to shoot the helicopter,” the military man says.
Now the military has already returned to the front, to the Nikolaev direction.
According to Maxim, the Russian military is in the Nikolaev direction
They walked, did not stop: about the number of Russian military
In the Mariupol direction, as soon as it all started, they just walked and walked, I don’t know how many people they lost, of course, they don’t care people, but they just walked the other day, continuously. In the Nikolaevsky direction, their artillery also does not stop. Shots every 3 minutes. Everything works: artillery, helicopters, planes,” the military man said.
The military man also said that he did not understand the motivation of Russians for war. “Why did they come to our land, what do they want. What they were told that some Nazis are here, I don't understand this at all.”
Pay attention! On May 23, Ukraine celebrates the Day of the Marine Corps. On this occasion, Volodymyr Zelenskyy awarded the defenders with the Golden Star orders.
The President stressed that the marines were among the defenders of Mariupol. They heroically held the defense of the city. Russian infidels will remember the marines for a long time after the battles in the South.
