155th Brigade company commander Romashka recounts how she killed eight occupiers and led her soldiers into battle: "I’m woman. I’ve got balls, and you don’t?". VIDEO
A servicewoman from the 155th Separate Mechanised Brigade, call sign Romashka, has progressed from driver-mechanic and gunner to instructor and company commander. She described a battle in which she and a fellow soldier killed eight Russian occupiers.
According to Censor.NET, the servicewoman’s story was published by the 155th Separate Mechanised Brigade.
Romashka recalls spotting ten Russians approaching Ukrainian positions during her first battle. She and a fellow soldier caught them in crossfire using an AGS automatic grenade launcher and an RPG anti-tank grenade launcher.
"I look, and there are 10 bastards coming. I quickly get on the field phone. ‘Vasia, do you see them?’ ‘I do.’ I fire the AGS, he fires the RPG. Well, eight dead," the servicewoman says.
After the company commander was killed, "Romashka" took command of the unit. To stop panic spreading among the soldiers, she had to give them a stern talking-to.
"I’m a woman. I say, ‘I’ve got balls, and you don’t.’ I banged my fist on the table, and that was that — we’re going out to fight," the commander recalls.
