Modern time:
On this day in 2014, Ukrainian miners spoke about the torture of the Russian occupiers in Donetsk and showed a tattoo that was almost cut off by a light bulb.
Russia never changed. Russia never learned.
Total victory and liberation of Ukraine is the only possible scenario for peace.
Value your life, the best of us pay the highest price for it
Denys Zelenyi, a soldier of the Bureviy National Guard Brigade, died at the front yesterday.
He used to work as a manager at the Honey confectionery chain. You may remember him from the video "Do you spik paskas [bake Easter bread]?" that went viral.
2021:
- Do you bake Easter bread?
- Yes, I bake!
2022:
- Do you bake Easter bread?
- Yes, I bake and russians too.
2023:
We baked, are baking, and will continue to bake.
2024:
I'm baking, dear, I'm baking!
That's how he will be remembered for his humor. He left behind a lot of beauty in our history.
Denys Zelenyi is also the author of the famous photo of Serebryanyi Forest, where fierce fighting is taking place.
You could remember it from posts comparison to burning down forests in France in the period of World War I.
Eternal honor to the fallen hero.
A very cool guy died today. A warrior, a confectioner, a psychologist, a pro.
Denys Zelenyi. We have known each other since the days of the Military Institute, when we studied at the university.
He knew how to support people. He knew how to inspire. He knew how to give strength.
Denys served in the Bureviy unit of the National Guard of Ukraine.
