This was announced by the head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration, head of the regional military administration Vadym Filashkin.
“The enemy breaks on us” is the slogan of the 3rd Special Forces Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine “Spartan,” which today celebrates its 11th anniversary.
I had the honor of personally congratulating the soldiers and presenting them with the “Defender of Donetsk Region” and “Sign of Honor” badges.
“Spartan” is a story of valor, courage, and self-sacrifice.
Under heavy shelling and in street fighting, the National Guard fought for Bakhmut and Soledar. They defended Hrodivka, Novohrodivka, Katerynivka, Kostyantynivka, Yelyzavetivka, Nelipivka, and New York.
Each settlement is a position that the guards defended under unbearable conditions.
Today, you are once again proving your courage by holding the defense near Udachny, where the enemy is concentrating its efforts.
Thank you to each of you for your service," emphasized Vadym Filashkin.
