We’ll stand up for Ukraine and Donbas. So, guys and gals. It’s all worse than what we’d expected. It will be difficult. Girls – that’s it, there’s no more worth saying. Now, just for the guys. A battalion is being formed for defense. One under the Ukrainian army. It’s all legal. You need to leave town and get a uniform and automatic rifles (people who stopped by there today understand why this is important). Yes, there will be discipline and so on. Volunteers are sending Semen Semenchenko private messages, and if he doesn’t answer, send them to Basile d’Budic. Don’t send them to me, but to the commanders. I’m involved with evacuating your families, but I am betting that I’ll get it done and be in the rank-and-file with you when the moment comes. Tomorrow I’ll give you the contact information of people in Kyiv who can take in your loved ones while we cleanse Donbas of the plague. We’re going to win. And I can’t help but joke, “Damn it, am I like the staff sergeant now?”:) [Original: “Blin, ia tipa kapter teper?:)” – Translator]

Oh yeah, and I forgot all about adding, “la-la-la-la-la-la” :)

[The last sentence refers to the chant, “Putin is a Dickhead,” made famous by some Ultras in Kharkiv not long ago — Translator]
