From medic to stormtrooper on Ukraine’s front lines
How an Armenian volunteer was deceived at a military recruitment center
Since February 24, 2022, Ukraine has been fiercely fighting against Russia, which invaded its territory and occupied four regions. The armed conflict has lasted over three years, and at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives, Ukraine continues to defend its freedom and independence from the aggressor.
In any armed conflict, the primary burden of losses falls on those on the front lines, directly facing the enemy’s main assault. In the harsh realities of the war in Ukraine, such soldiers are commonly referred to as “stormtroopers”—they advance and counterattack, while also holding defensive lines against the enemy’s onslaught. The risk of death for those in so-called “storm units” increases exponentially.

Dear Armenian Weekly,
Why are you censoring my freedom of expression? In case you didn’t know, Vanadzor has been a stroghold of CIA activity since the 1990s. It’s gotten even worst since 2018.
Any Armenian supporting the criminal regime in Kiev is also an enemy of Armenia. Just as Artsakh is Armenian, eastern Ukraine is Russian. Russia will beat the collective West in Ukraine and it will turn its attention back to the south Caucasus. And that’s when Armenia’s Western financed fifth collumn will disappear.
