Did my best translating word for word.-The first time we arrived in Kiev after what happened onDec1st. At that moment there was a truths. We arrived on street Bankovo.Everything was calm, and we put on Ribbons of Saint George which didn't sitwell with the local officials/deputies. There some words exchanged but ingeneral the first month of service went OK.After we were allowed to take a break. We returned home forabout 3 nights. We received an alarm in the middle of the 3rd nightabout disturbances on street Grushevskogo. After our arrival, events startedtaking place where the opposition government and The Right Sector started buildbarricades . During the day we had a lot of journalists around which showedeveryone how everything was peaceful and calm. As night came, the offensiveactions started taking place. There was a lot of pyrotechnics and fire. InternalForces ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92 Soldat) took a lot of casualties because they werethe closest to the action. We were given an order to carry out an advance on.As we were pushing the people back we got an order to retreat and we wereunable to push the people back to Maidan. That same day we saw the peopleworking together bringing in sand bags and gasoline. We asked our superiors whythey were allowing the trucks through that brought the gasoline in which wasused to make Molotovs right in front of our eyes, but our inquiries fell ondeaf ears. As night fell, the attacks started all over again but theyintensified every time. After about 2 attacks, their barricaded grew to be 2stories high and their financing kept increasing.There was anothertruths that lasted about 3 weeks. While we were on watch one night, our scoutteam told us that there is going to be a big push to take over the parliamentblock. When morning came, everything that our scout team told us happened. Thepeople approached the Parliament building under the peaceful protestor actafter which they started throwing Molotovs and flash bang granades. We weregiven an order to move to a street where the office of the regional party waslocated. By the time we got there, the fire crew was on scene putting out thefire. Unfortunately 2 officers were lost. They were beaten unconscious and leftin the fire and smoke. After this happened we were given an order to makeanother advance. There was a lot of things happening, lots of casualties. Allthe officers were ordered to move closer to Maidan and carry our anotheradvance at night. (the burning APC) As we made the advance we got the orderonce again to back down and return to hold the line away from Maidan, insteadof charging in and dispersing the crowd once and for all.With everyday therewas more and more firearms wounds. 2 of my colleagues that were covering me receivedgun shot wounds. Due to a breakdown in the communication The Internal Forceswhich were on the front line were left behind. We had the task to go in andcover them which was met with high resistance where we had more officers killeddue to gun shots. On the same day we had to move to a different location andcover water canon trucks, fire trucks and ambulances which couldn’t get out dueto a huge congestion of people. We were forced to stay there until it allcleared up. By this time we were completely depleted of rubber bullets and leftto choice but to engage in hand to hand combat. When we returned from ourshift, Alpha Group has just moved out to cover the snipers. Also I want to addfor the people that say only the police were using firearms, that is completelynot true. My group had a 40 minute shift where we had to stand and not movewhile were being shot at with hunting rifles and rifles of 7.62 caliber. Justlike the other side we had bullet holes in our shields, yet no one would budge,we stood together. When we returned from our shift on the front line we askedto be given weapons. At first they were scared to give them to us because wejust got back from being shot at and they thought we would take over the parliamentourselves. Eventually we got the firearms. In the morning we were ordered toleave Kiev and to return the firearms. We refused because to get through on theroads without firearms was too risky. Thanks to the people in parliament at thetime we were given a corridor to leave the city. They only had one request fromus and that was to not open fire on anyone, “enough blood”. They knew we werevery tense and serious about leaving Kiev after the fighting.We had to drive in,indirect routes to avoid conflicts but still had to cover for our colleagues indifferent busses that met resistance. We made it to Sevastopol safely. A bigthank you to Sevastopol, we were not expecting such support. We decided to goto our base to figure out what to do next, because our government abandoned us.After arriving in Sevastopol we realised everything will be ok, because thiscity stood behind us like a mountain. They provided a great amount ofhumanitarian aid and other amenities. Most of the stuff we received we sent toour colleagues in Internal Forces (BB) because they were the ones constantly onthe front lines and took the most casualties.I want to give another big thanks to the citizens of Sevastopol. And wepromise we will do everything in our power to remove the evil from Ukraine.
