In their own words
Source: VARTA on Instagram →A standard mission was delivering cargo to Mariupol. The smell of gunpowder, black smoke, and a low fog stretched over the whole city. The fog of war. A missile hit my helicopter and it did not detonate, it just took out one engine. We helped save more than 20 wounded people. My future is my family. I want to build the home of my dreams, have many children, bring them up and put my soul into them.
