From Donetsk to Damask: militiaman of the DPR having returned back from Syria compared two wars (VIDEO)

A fighter of the Donetsk People’s Republic with the signcall Gordey returned back home from Syria recently, and he shared his thoughts of similarities and differences of these two wars.

The militiaman Gordey took part in 4 wars, the beginning was in Chechnya.
He arrived to Donbass as a volunteer, and in some time he was sent to Syria. And he returned back on 29th August.

According to his words, 2 conflicts differ from each other very much. The main difference lies in conduct of war.

There is distant shelling in Donbass very often, the use of heavy artillery if seen often; however, Syria has close combats. ‘I call this war ping-pong, and they use automats more, snipers are’, Gordy said.

One more very distinctive feature for Donbass, due to Gordy is that people are fighting for the idea here. There are other motives in Syria and ‘people have been very fed up with the war, we have to finish it’.
