Dmitry Maslovsky: what is known

Dmytro Maslovsky was a soldier of the 71st Separate Jaeger Brigade of the Airborne Assault Troops. He was born on November 7, 1994 in the Lyubashivska community of the Odessa region.

Recently, a video made at the scene of the battle spread online. In it, Dmitry entered into hand-to-hand combat with an enemy attack aircraft. The soldier threw a grenade through the window of a private house, but after attempts to knock out the occupier were unsuccessful, he snatched the Russian's machine gun and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

During the battle, the enemy managed to intercept the knife with which he had wounded Dmytro. At the end, the Ukrainian fighter turned to his opponent, thanking him for the battle and saying goodbye.

"Let me die. Go, please, I want to go alone. Thank you, you were the best fighter in the world. Goodbye," said Dmitry.
