“Sooner we kill them, sooner I will return to my family”: Story of military on Marinka front

The Marinka front in Donetsk Oblast is one of the hottest fronts along the entire contact zone.  The Russian military is assaulting Ukrainian positions, but Ukrainian artillery successfully repels the attacks.  One of the advantages over the Russians is motivation, said a fighter from the artillery unit of the 79th Air Assault Brigade, who serves on the Marinka front.

He told his story to the Ukrainian Witness project.  The serviceman is part of the crew of Soviet-made 2S9 Nona artillery system, designed for fire support of airborne units.
