📆 On this day 10 years ago, the bloodshed in #Donbas, #Ukraine, started
A Russian special-ops group ambushed a group of Ukrainian officers near #Slovyansk. Ukrainians had the orders "not to respond". Captain Hennadiy #Bilichenko was killed on the spot. Three others were badly wounded. Lieutenant Vadym #Sukharevsky shot back
Between getting slaughtered and disobeying orders he chose the latter ⏩
↪ That was the moment of truth. “Brotherly #Ukraine” was meat to them, ready to be "minced". Killing them was a good way to celebrate a holy day
And it was Vadym #Sukharevsky who decided: not on my watch!
Give Hennadiy #Bilichenko a thought today - he was the first combat blood in #Donbas. And wish well to colonel Vadym #Sukharevsky, #Ukraine’s deputy commander-in-chief now ⏩
