"When the assault began, something went wrong. We came under mortar fire, I broke through alone, the group rolled back. Well, there was no point in going back, because I could also come under fire. I rode forward on a motorcycle, passed through several positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and when they realized what was happening there, they started firing at me with a Kalashnikov machine gun," the fighter said.

He clarified that he hid behind the tanks, after which a "miracle" happened and the enemy machine gun stopped working. Tumasov was then able to contact the command and explain the situation on the battlefield.

The company commander also said that he received a shrapnel wound, as a result of which his eyesight deteriorated. He added that he always made quick decisions on the battlefield and stayed alive because of it.
