The Deputy Chief of 'Alpha' discussed the hardest day at work since the beginning of the war.

The Deputy Chief of the 'Alpha' Special Operations Center of the Security Service of Ukraine, known by the alias Socrates, shared his experience during the first difficult days of the invasion in an interview with 'Radio Bayraktar'. He spoke about his struggle with physical and moral fatigue that accompanied him while confronting the enemy.

According to Socrates, he practically didn’t sleep for three to four days due to the heavy workload and the need to quickly adapt to the new conditions. Physical exhaustion became a serious problem at the beginning of the war.

For three to four days, I just didn’t sleep. There was tension, nonspecific activity because everything needed to be reformatted to a different mode. So regarding physical fatigue - this is the story, - said Socrates.

The hardest moments for him were the losses of his comrades in arms. The commander of 'Alpha' stated that the death of the first people greatly affected his moral state.

We incurred our first losses near Kyiv. It was extremely hard morally, especially for me, as the commander of this unit. These guys were very close to me. I remember how I took them, all the procedures. The enemy surrounded Kyiv, everything happened very quickly. Unfortunately, these were not the last losses, but they strengthened our will to fight the enemy, - said the special forces member.
