"Of course I'm waiting!", — the centenary veteran will finally celebrate Victory Day in the liberated Melitopol.
Mikhail Sukach, who passed the Great Patriotic War, last celebrated May 9 a few years ago. It was forbidden to do this by Ukrainian nationalists.
"They threatened, they could have killed," the veteran recalls.
Now he is smiling and preparing to put on a ceremonial suit for the holiday, strewn with Soviet orders.
