“In the evening, Maksym was walking with his friends on the Post Square, on the funicular. At some point, a man in a military uniform, without identification marks, did not like that 16-year-old teenagers were having fun, and decided to show his military patriotism. Approaching in a drunken state with the words: “Are you ready to repay the debt to the Motherland?” Maksym answered confidently that he was ready., – it is written on the page of the sports club “Chaika” on the page in the social network Instagram.
