We’ve been in the Guard since the very start of the war. There were four of us, two Azov guys, me in the Guard, and some volunteer, I don’t know, he flew in on choppers, two choppers flew in for the wounded, and three people, two of them from Azov.

And you were with him today, you fought with him, right?

I was with Salam, he’s, basically, an Azov guy, and there was another Azov guy with him.

And those ones we brought in there, four or five of them, who are they?

I don’t know, there were groups of four or five, they were lying at every position along the front line.

So roughly twenty people were there, or more?

There were four of us at first, then our senior got turned into a three-hundred, and these…

And who was the senior?

Salem.

Did they take him?

No, he had a secondary wound, not a full-on injury, and the second guy had a proper leg wound.

So, we were in the last house, at the crossroads, from there we sent this young guy for evacuation, and the three of us ran to Bekhken.

Look, look, there was a battle yesterday.

Yeah?

On this side.

I sat in the basement for two days.

There was no battle, right, yesterday and today?

I heard they were bombing there.

We had contact with them, we took out a lot of them there.

On what date did you take out the ones who were with you?

We did not take them out.

Near the church, did you have wounded in the church there?

Were you near the church?

Not near the church.

The tram station?

Yeah, the industrial zone there.

I got it, I will say now, hold on.

So much stuff comes through.

There is a command and observation post there, and there are people there, and wounded there, well, about maybe…

I did not poke around everywhere, but I saw somewhere up to 20 people, with security.

They bring the wounded there, right?

Yeah, both wounded and regular people, everyone is there.

Inside the building, can you show where they take them?

Right behind the tram depot.

Literally fifty to one hundred meters.
