This year the ceremony was almost the same as the previous years celebrations. Last year the Russian Armed Forces attacked and interrupted our Independence Day ceremony so we had to fight them back, but this year we had the advantage of attacking their peaceful camp on our soil.

Needless to say, the Peacekeepers of the Russian Federation were dealt with severe determination to drive them out of our land.
