It happens. Leska received minor injuries. Scratches. The machine won this unequal battle with the 152nd shell. Heavy fighting is now continuing in the Donbass, it is not easy now near Bakhmut, the journalist wrote.

According to him, the windshield was damaged by the blast wave, fragments hit the body, but "so easily that it is almost not noticeable."

When the rocket slapped, I thought that everything was nuts to the car. No. Survived. Carried us out of there at speed. Let's move on. I will try to prepare the text and video about the fight as soon as possible,” added Kushnir.
