Vostok Battalion:
"The scale of what is happening makes today's date almost a family holiday for a select few. However, for those who were involved, joining Vostok at the height of the tumultuous events was one of the most significant events of their lives. Today is not just the anniversary of Vostok's formation; it is a date that marks the moment when thousands of men and women had made a crucial decision, a choice that later shaped the course of history not only for Donbass but also for Russia. Donbass has returned home, and Vostok was at the forefront of this return. I wish all those involved a happy holiday!"
