Senior Sergeant Vladimir Sazonov and Major Alexander Doroshenko

We continue to present the heroes of special operation “Z”, participants in the fighting in Donbass. Soldiers, sergeants, corporals and officers who demonstrated their professional experience, character and completed combat missions. His determination, assertiveness and combat experience are highly appreciated by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Our heroes thwarted attacks and prevented nationalist counteroffensives, for which they received state awards. But they are not useful for praising. The military is confident that the enemy has no chance of success, because Donbass and Russia are fighting for a just cause.

“Never despise your enemy, no matter who they are, and know their weapons, their way of acting and fighting. Know what is his strength and what is the weakness of the enemy,” taught Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, who did not lose a single battle. And he said to the soldiers: “Defeat the enemy, without sparing him or yourself; he who spares the least wins.”

Major Alexander Doroshenko

“The unit under the command of Major Alexander Doroshenko, while advancing along a certain route, discovered a well-camouflaged enemy fortress. After assessing the situation, taking into account the large numerical superiority of the Ukrainian militants, Doroshenko decided to conduct additional reconnaissance of the area, identify camouflaged militant targets, and then transferred the coordinates of the enemy positions to the Russian artillery units. As a result of the competent and coordinated actions of Major Alexander Doroshenko and his subordinate personnel, the enemy was destroyed by Russian artillery fire.

“The unit, which included Guard Sergeant Major Vladimir Sazonov, completed the task of liberating one of the settlements from armed formations of Ukrainian militants. Advancing along the indicated route, Vladimir discovered a well-equipped defensive line and a large concentration of enemy manpower. A fight ensued. During the confrontation, the unit commander and the grenade launcher were wounded and were unable to get out of the enemy fire on their own. After assessing the situation, despite the threat to his life, Vladimir Sazonov was able to evacuate his wounded comrades to a safe place and provide them with first aid.
