On February 24 of last year, Russian troops entered Ukraine for the sake of the so-called "special military operation". The life of ordinary Ukrainians has changed in the past year after the attack by Russian forces. Many have taken up arms to defend Putin's troops.
One of them is Oleksandr Protusk. Before the war, Protusk worked as a sanitary engineer. Currently he is fighting on the front lines of the war. He says that after the Russian attack, "everything has changed" for him. Now he has to fight with his arms, suffering in Poha.
"My generation will never forgive Russia," says Protusk, a full-fledged fighter turned sanitary engineer.
In an interview with Qatar-based media Al Jazeera on Friday (February 24), this Ukrainian soldier said, 'I was a civilian, single and hard-working man. I have never served in the army. But the war forced me to take up arms. I had to take up arms to protect my country as the former 'fraternal' country attacked.
He also said, "The most difficult thing was, I saw young men come to fight but after only two or three days they were killed."
Protusk is fighting on the Donetsk front. But currently the capital is in Kiev. He said that he came to Kiev to rest for a 10-day vacation. But after the holiday he will return to the battlefield again.
"Ukraine will prosper within a year," Protusk said. Ukraine will be an independent country. We will build a huge border wall to separate ourselves from Russia. Let them be as they are. And on the other side of the wall is rotten.
He also said, 'Westerners will prosper with us. We are part of Europe. We are separated from Russia. My generation will never forgive Russia. I hope the next generation will not forgive Russia either. I hope so.'
