A very sincere conversation with Oleh Liashko, commander of the 432nd Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment of the 11th Army Corps. The unit is defending our Donetsk region, and it is important to hear which requests from the army are most critical at the moment, and which political steps by the state can further motivate our servicemembers. Unity matters, and there must be no grounds for fragmenting our society. Thank you! Glory to Ukraine!
