Quote: "I came from the Bakhmut front to the base. Greatly surprised by reactions on Facebook to my appointment as commander of the UAV platoon. Friends are somehow overly happy with this ordinary event, enemies habitually violently hate me, looking like couch pygmies.
Against this background are street battles in the suburbs of Bakhmut, destroyed highways, shortage of ammunition, and the deadly fatigue of heroic infantry. "
Details: Lutsenko added that in these circumstances, he jokingly responds to congratulations with the words "career finally went up:)," and he's sincerely grateful to everyone for their kind words.
"And to enemies (before the war I called them enemies, but now I use this word only for those whom we hunt day and night) there is no point in explaining anything. Just know this: I, without hiding, survived and defeated both the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk mafia. I will survive your variety circus. I have honour," wrote the former politician turned fighter Lutsenko.
