Oleksandr Ponomarov biography

Oleksandr Ponomarov Alexander Ponomarev, a fighter of the intelligence department of the landing brigade, the city of Khmelnitsky - Sasha - a real hero, represented the People’s Hero of Ukraine Alexander Ponomarev, Pavel Chaika, a fighter of the brigade, a full holder of the Order for Courage, at the ceremony. Sasha would have remained intact and unharmed if he acted according to the instructions, but then another fighter would have been seriously injured, or he would have died ...

There was never a doubt for me that Sasha was a wonderful fighter and a wonderful person. I am also amazed at how he fights for his future, how he longs to stand on his feet and does not spare himself, constantly engaged in rehabilitation, suffering pain and inconvenience. Even now, he does not lose hope, continues to fight for himself. Real paratrooper. Then, in June, the system of payment of compensation has not yet been worked out, the procedures for allocating apartments to the seriously injured were not prescribed ...

So much has passed by Sasha. He did not even fully get the monetary compensation for injury! What can we say about rehabilitation - Sashina collected money for all treatment courses abroad, he had never gone anywhere on state programs ... Sasha spent the money that my colleague paid for the purchase of a car, and not new. She was converted under manual control. Thus, it can at least be mobile.

Only now, on the eve of Sasha’s awarding in Vinnitsa, I found out that he never received an apartment laid for him! It is terribly outraged by it. How so! He, who gave his health for Ukraine, who received a severe wound, is still picked by rented apartments. Did he really not deserve to have his comfortable housing? Moreover, it turns out that he was laid a one -room apartment ...

But he has a family - a wife, a daughter ... Sasha and Lena dream of a joint child. The situation has already entered such a dead end that Sasha had to sue! This is not just fair, it is just terrible in relation to a real hero. The guys were ambushed. They began to be shot with dagger fire from a distance of five to ten meters from planting. After the first shots, Bazilyuk and Ponomarev fell - they were injured.

The bullet crushed Sasha’s ribs, pierced the lung and, turning, went out through the spine, groaning the spinal cord. Alexander Ponomarev instantly took away his legs, and he fell. He shot back until the ammunition ended. The group turned to answer with fire. Sasha, no longer seeing this, losing consciousness, took out a grenade and pulled out the check.

He did not want to be captured, he was ready to undermine himself ... It helped the group to leave without losses and the wounded ...

The paratroopers took their affected guys, pulling the grenade from the hands of the unconscious Sasha. They began to help them, as soon as possible were sent to the hospital. But Sasha’s spine suffered too seriously. The fighter stopped feeling the lower body. Near Sasha, his wife Elena is constantly located. Then we achieved to serve together. In the year, our military unit was liquidated.

I was reduced, and Sasha was transferred to the Yu Nikolaev landing brigade. Then Sasha suggested that I become his wife. But the events on the Maidan began, and the wedding had to be postponed. And when events began in the Crimea, the brigade was sent to the Kherson regions, then to the east ... We talked only by phone. Once on the Internet, I saw an article: “The separatists fired at the reconnaissance fighters of the Brigade.

Two guys are seriously injured. ” She grabbed the phone, with trembling fingers scored Sashin number. But a few days after that, Sasha and his comrade were injured. ” In the hospital, Elena herself reminded her beloved of the promised wedding. Volunteers organized a real holiday for the couple. Shortly after the wedding, Lena found an Israeli clinic, where they promised to carry out the most difficult operation on Sasha's spine.

This required one hundred thousand euros. The money was collected by the whole world. But when the paratrooper flew to Israel, the specialists there advised to postpone the operation and determined it in a modern rehabilitation clinic. There, Sasha began to play tennis. Returning to Ukraine, to the city of Khmelnitsky, where the couple rents an apartment for Lena, Sasha found a coach along a large tennis and continued his studies.

This spring, Lena agreed to treat her husband in an American rehabilitation clinic. She actually earned money herself and paid for the course of stay there for Sasha. A month ago, Sasha returned home. He still spends most of his time in a wheelchair, but does not lose hope that he will still begin to walk. And if he does not work, I become a hostage of four walls ”... Sasha no accident became a military man.

His grandfather also served. Alexander served in the Mater of the year. He was a paratrooper athlete, he has more than two hundred jumps. In addition, he, having an ideal hearing, learned to work with the ABC Morse and was an excellent radio operator. In the year, he passed an English exam and passed an exam for a trip to study in America, where he went through the rangers.Computer simulators, working out interaction, an excellent communication base ...

And when I returned, our training center began to be disbanded, and we freed the barracks from property. All this was sad ... The same thing is with the rehabilitation of the wounded. We have good specialists, but there are still no equipment, devices that are necessary for people like me. Everything has to be overcome. We will win! Violetta Kirtoka.
