346 днів на «нулі» без ротації. 23 знищених окупанти на його ділянці оборони. Шестеро росіян, яких він особисто взяв у полон. А вдома сестра сім місяців не знала, чи він узагалі живий.
Сергій Криніцький із Білогір’я на Хмельниччині до мобілізації працював будівельником і розводив кролів. Зростав із бабусею, допомагав по господарству, навчався на зварювальника.
У 2024 році його мобілізували. Після підготовки Сергій став піхотинцем 24-ї бригади імені короля Данила й вирушив на Донеччину, в район Часового Яру. На фронті його знають за позивним «Сєронька».
Перший вихід на позиції тривав три місяці. Потім було 12 днів перепочинку.
20 квітня 2025 року він знову вирушив на передову. І залишився там на 346 днів.
Ротація була майже неможливою: підходи контролювали російські дрони. А залишити позицію означало поставити під загрозу сусідні рубежі.
Росіяни постійно штурмували. Під час одного з боїв до українців наблизилися дев’ятеро окупантів. Двох Сергій знищив у ближньому бою, ще сімох — разом із побратимами.
Загалом він очолив відбиття щонайменше шести ворожих штурмів.
Їжу, воду й боєприпаси доставляли безпілотниками. Та частину з них ворог збивав. Іноді захисники по кілька діб залишалися без постачання.
Поки Сергій тримав позицію під Часовим Яром, його сестра Аня намагалася дізнатися хоча б одне: чи живий брат.
Сім місяців вона не чула його голосу. Телефонувала, шукала інформацію, зверталася по допомогу.
Одного разу після звернення на гарячу лінію їй повідомили: Сергій живий! А на її прохання пообіцяли передати голосове повідомлення від нього.
Після 346 днів оборони воїна нарешті вивели з позиції. Скористалися сприятливою погодою. Перед виходом Сергій знищив своє укриття, щоб ним не скористався ворог.
5 травня 2026 року йому присвоїли звання Героя України з врученням ордена «Золота Зірка».
Після лікування та відпочинку Сергій вирішив продовжити службу.
Під час відпустки він побував у школі. Побачивши усміхнених дітей, не зміг стримати сліз.
«Я не залізний, я плакав там. (…)
Я зрозумів, що не даремно я там був, не даремно захищав нашу землю».

"This was filmed last Thursday at Riverside Veterinary Clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The officer is Sergeant Alan Briggs. He's 44 years old. Twelve-year veteran of the Colorado Springs Police Department. The dog is Bruno, a nine-year-old German Shepherd. They were partners for eight years. Bruno joined the force at fourteen months old. Trained in narcotics detection and patrol support. He and Alan were paired in the spring of Alan's sixth year on the force. From that first week, Alan said Bruno worked like he'd been waiting his whole life to do exactly that job. Eight years. Hundreds of calls. Bruno never missed a shift. Earlier this year, Bruno began slowing down significantly. A serious illness had progressed through his system over several months despite treatment. By October, Bruno had stopped eating consistently. Stopped lifting his head fully when Alan came into the room. The veterinary team sat with Alan two weeks ago and walked him through what was coming. Alan requested that Bruno's final day be spent at home first. They drove to their favorite trail in the morning. Bruno walked as far as he could. Alan carried him the rest of the way. At the clinic that afternoon, Alan sat down on the floor rather than placing Bruno on the examination table. He said he didn't want Bruno's last position to be somewhere unfamiliar and cold. He held Bruno in his arms on the floor, back against the wall. The vet, Dr. Melissa Horan, prepared the procedure. She told us she's been practicing for nineteen years. She has learned to give families as long as they need. Alan leaned down and pressed his face against Bruno's head. He spoke to him quietly. Told him he had been the best partner anyone could ask for. Told him he didn't have to hold on anymore. Bruno lifted both front paws. Slowly. The way a person reaches up when they want to be held. He wrapped them around Alan's shoulders and pulled himself closer. Alan held on. Dr. Horan told us she set down what she was holding and waited. She said: "I've been in this room for a lot of final moments. What Bruno did in that moment was one of the most deliberate things I've ever seen an animal do.

Democrats are preparing an investigation into the Trump-Putin diesel deal – Axios
A letter dated October 24th was received by six major banks, including JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs, as well as the port authorities of Texas and New York.
The authors are requesting that these entities preserve contracts, shipping documents, information about vessels, and correspondence with suppliers, intermediaries, and U.S. officials. Responses are expected by Wednesday, October 28th.
The investigation will become a priority for Democrats if, after the November 3rd elections, they regain control of one or both chambers of Congress.
