He became a paramedic in 2014, when he first got to the front: "I lived abroad, I lived in Britain, I had a good job, a good education, I got a lot of money to forget the war of 14 years, for the whole 15 years I moved to Africa. Looking at all this blood, the murders, holding on at the hands of people who were dying as paramedics. It was difficult for me to return to civilian life. " "I found the reason for the war, so to speak, between west and east in the fact that people do not go very much outside their country. That is, people in Luhansk and Donetsk they did not go very much outside the cities. They did not see what the country is cool, what a cool country, "said the man.

I know that many people are worried now, I have a lot of friends whose boyfriends are also at war or in Troy, " Nadiya said.
