Trutnev told how he came under fire in the Northern Military District zone

Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Envoy of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev told how he came under fire from the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the line of combat contact.

“Many times (came under fire - ed.). We were driving to a position... There is a science of how to get through, how to stay alive. When you are driving, you choose the time when the enemy is as inattentive as possible... There were such memorable situations: we are passing, and an armored personnel carrier with lights on is coming towards us. And immediately after its passage, large-caliber shelling begins, something in the region of 152 millimeters,” Trutnev told reporters.

“But we passed. During the shelling, I didn’t think anything special, I assumed that I was doing the right thing, which means everything would be fine,” he added.

Speaking about the fighters, he noted the feeling of friendship and trust.
