«Я хочу вижити на цій війні». Володимир Парасюк: від Майдану до 11-го року війни / hromadske

Here's the translation of the text:

**hromadske went to Donetsk region to speak with Volodymyr Parasyuk – an activist of the Revolution of Dignity, commander of a combat battalion, who became famous throughout the country after his speech on the Maidan stage and the ultimatum to Yanukovych.**

A former member of parliament, now a soldier who voluntarily went to the front immediately after the full-scale invasion. Just like 10 years ago.

What triggers him the most? How many people from his inner circle has he lost? What is the greatest fear he has gained? About the lessons of the Maidan, captivity, "uncontrolled" parliamentary service, his sister at the front, the son he does not see, and the final battle of this war — watch the interview with Volodymyr Parasyuk.

Apologies for the sound issues that occurred during the recording in Donetsk region.
