Firshov’s exputate about the difficult situation on the front, motivation of the military, corruption in the rear and elections
In the recent past, Yegor Firsov is a MP and Acting Head of the State Environmental Inspectorate of Ukraine.
He is now a commander of a punch pad platoon Muramasa The 109th TRO brigade: together with the brothers destroys the military equipment of the Russians-from passenger cars, which moves the personnel of the Russian Federation, to large goals such as the RSSU « Grad » and Tos-1A « Sunphen ».
« When I just came to Avdiivka in 2022 and registered a military enlistment office, there were many people, so I was forced to ask the army. And to raise the stakes, I said, » I am an expature. I can help you « . At first, I was told, » Go for a walk! « And then: » And you were a deputy any area? « I say, » Yes! Not a district! I was a People’s Deputy, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada. »

They thought that I was kidding, and then they had a skepticism that I would like something, type, do a month, take a picture somewhere in Avdiivka and go safely. So it took me a long time to break this stereotype, « says Firsov.
Now his native Donetsk is occupied as well as Avdiivkawhere he spent most of his childhood and adolescence.
« In 2022, I walked down the central street of Avdiivka and realized that once at the same time of the year, I was walking with my grandmother’s hand in this place, and later with my girlfriend. And I never thought in my life that there would be hostilities here. That’s the dissonance that you get used to it.
How do they treat his parliamentary past in the army and how does he use the status of the Exnaress during the war? Where is the situation on the front now and why should society carefully listen to the statements of the Ukrainian military and not Western politicians?
All this « Ukrainian Truth » talked to Egor Firsov. Below are the main theses of conversations. See full interview on YouTube UP.

« The military is coming back from the war and no one needs anyone. It is indignant »
I once came to Kiev. I no longer remember what year it was, 2022 or 2023. I go to the subway wagon, and people start applauding me. I even lost, I thought it was a draw. But it was just a genuine reaction: they saw the military and began to clap their hands.
Of course, now the attitude towards the military has changed: it has become less emotional. And this is a normal story. I am more frustrated and indignantly outraged: when the military is returning right.
You do not even imagine how many those who have officially returned, now I write to me: « Lay money » – because just guys cannot find themselves in civilian life, there is no work for them.
And for their rehabilitation, employment is a significant story. If not, you have a roof. And if you still have the consequences of contusions, then the consequences in this condition can be any.
Soon access to materials on « Ukrainian Truth » can be paid.
But we believe that quality content should be accessible to everyone, so we will not impose restrictions on the last. Support us so that we can continue to continue working without restrictions – join the UP club!
In my opinion, this story should be regulated at the legislative level so that people who have passed the war can go to the civil service and hold certain positions. Civil service is usually a competition for education criteria, work experience, etc. But if you choose between a person with such qualities, but who did not fight, and the same, but with military experience, it is necessary to give preference to the military, veterans, so that in the future our state can be built on those personnel that have now taken the weapons.
So far, this understanding is neither in society nor the state. Vice versa. People say, « You are our suns, our characters! We pray for you! » But then you come back from the war and no one needs no one …
« From news about the corruption of the military just breaks »
A sharpened sense of justice is a story that is inherent in all military. This is manifested even in household little things. Especially when you watch news and see the same History with Komarnitsky.
The topic of corruption and theft now now causes the most emotions in the military.
Imagine a story. The guys who serve me are some of the best pilots of the UAVs that have some of the best performance on the enemy’s destroyed technique. Among them is the commander of the department. He From Pokrovskayahis house is destroyed. After completing his service in the Armed Forces, he just will not return. There is no house!
And now he sees how local authorities, which must first come to the military and say, « Friends, here, please, three hundredths of the land. And here – loans, benefits and other opportunities for you, because you have done a lot for this state » – it does not do it, but instead Prefers corrupt officials.
And, of course, it cannot but indignation. The boys hurts because of this, breaks them from it. It has a very bad effect on their emotional state, their motivation.
My friend and brother Stanislav Aseev In an interview with you He said very correct things that I 100% agree with: the motivation to fight should be first and foremost personal, not just general, patriotic.
This personal motivation can be different: prove something to your father, to realize, to show who you are, to become known, to take revenge … Among these reasons can be very intimate motives. For example, one of my fighters went to the Armed Forces after his wife threw it, he did it because of despair. He is now one of the best warriors.

« On the front – a constant twice. The orcs storm on character »
The front is far from the best time. Moreover, a month ago, half a year ago it was much easier. For example, in the Toretsk-Pokrovsky direction, constant twice-intense storms. And it is not even a crowd of orcs, and two – three, who are simply married to squeeze any position.
In the sky – a huge number of drones, first of all – on the fiber, from which even the treatment does not protect. This significantly complicates logistics, so leave and return from them – every time a whole special operation.
Society is waiting for peace to exhale, but it is becoming more and more complicated on the front. And while some people from Russia come to Saudi Arabia talk about peaceothers go to the Russian Federation to find new orcs for assaults in some Taganrog or Murmansk.
Unfortunately, at least this year will have to fight our country. And for that we need to be morally prepared.
« Where there is a modern commander, the unit flies into the top by efficiency. Wherever the commander of the BODB *** B – HSC »
We still have an old model of commanders and this is a problem. With the advent of a large number of new units, someone had to be appointed to manage them.
Imagine a 55-year officer who served in the military enlistment office for 10 years in the 1990s, worked as a chief of some warehouse, taught a little, and now he headed the battalion and in its order, for example, half a thousand people. How can he soak them? How can he give them advice? He knows nothing! But he has the title and so he became the main. Unfortunately, there are many such cases.
Now the system has started cleaning from such commanders, but it was a high price.
Where the modern commander is, the unit flies into the top. But such commanders are now a big shortage. And this is also a problem.
If we talk about the main sergeants, they must not only quarrel fighters, but also protect – before the military service, before the senior commander. Even if there was a « rail ». And I think that my value as the chief sergeant was just that I was always for guys who could tell me about the problem in any situation.
Equally important is the attitude towards subordinates when performing tasks. Respect and trust are the key things on which the work of the unit should be built. The commander should be a manager and a mentor. You also have to listen to boys and somewhere, perhaps even collectively make a decision, because it is also an important story.
According to official statistics, we now have over one hundred thousand now High School. It’s a lot. And most of these people went to the HRS either through the long command of the command, or because of its lack of morality.
That is, when the *** B-Commander gives Hero orders or behaves completely inadequate, it leads to the fact that the guy puts the machine gun and says, « Thank you. Goodbye. » And now there is a huge task of returning these fighters from the HCP.
I do not want to sign for everyone, but I want to tell you that there is no negative attitude in the army in general.

« If it was not for the defense of the Motherland, we would never cross with my brothers »
At first, I thought that my past, politics, would be my advantage in the war, but in fact it was often a disadvantage.
I used to be not just a MP (BPP fractions – UP)but also Acting Heads of the State Environmental Inspectorate and tried to release the head of its Donetsk department due to low performance. And now I come to the brigade and find out that one of its key commanders is the godfather of this man, and in fact my life is in fact depends on him.
Another example is one of the members of the brigade apparatus, which was once in the Shariae party. How ideologically can he treat me? People will now think, « How is it – the Party of Sharia in the Armed Forces. » But the armed forces are a cut of society, and there are people from completely different segments of the population.
And in principle, imagine: someone could be a taxi driver or a miner, and here it is a whole MP. It is possible that this person wants to assert himself through me.
Now my unit is all from the Donetsk region, we are about the same age. But if it were not for the protection of the Motherland, we would never have crossed.
My brothers are the most sincere people, real, very interesting, I am inspired by them. And this brotherhood, when you help each other, in particular, mentally, psychologically, it supports. If not for them, I would not work out.
Therefore, I am very grateful to them that they met them. I hope they have similar feelings for me.
« The work of our drones on the front – cards on negotiations for our diplomats »
I often tell my boys: « Our drones that come to hostile equipment are arguments for our diplomats, their cards in negotiations. » And my boys like it.
I would like to advise society not to look at the statements of Western politicians, but to the statements of Ukrainian comburgists, which are currently holding defense. Because what is happening now, conditionally, under the Pokrovsk direction affects what will happen in a conditional Saudi Arabia.
At the same time, international delegations of the military, especially veterans, should be sent to all corners of the world for different negotiations. Because they have a unique experience. This is a necessary story.

About elections
When during the war I was addressed from Kiev with proposals to take part in electionsI couldn’t believe. I thought it was some draw, because as a military understand, all this would not end soon. And when you made this argument, you told you, « No-no-no, believe me, you don’t know. »
These proposals were addressed by people who once held government positions that are engaged in politics now. It turned out that they now hang some of their boards, spend money on some agitation. And I frankly hung, tried to explain to them that it was inappropriate now.
These people spend hundreds of thousands, millions of hryvnias on their advertising, their offices, politics. This money would be just on drones, on improving our positions, and they spend them just in the pipe, just in nowhere. I was shocked that the current situation in the country can be inadequate.
I understand a society that wants to restart wants to exhale. This is a normal story – to want elections. But the conditions are now that they are simply impossible.
I would gladly voted for someone or perhaps myself would take part in the elections, but it is impossible.
We need to continue hostilities.
Point.
