at the front, weariness wins the Ukrainian soldiers

On a human scale, things are sometimes easier to grasp, as explained by this Ukrainian soldier who is fighting on the Eastern Front: “It’s a Russian rocket. They’ve been threatening us with weapons of this size for a long time. They’ve been using them a lot for a week.”. A short-range missile, very destructive when it hits its target, and which also affects morale. “Against such weapons we can only respond with artillery and tanks. Unfortunately we do not have this equipment available”she laments.

On the front line, everything seems calm. Direct confrontation with the Russians has not yet taken place. But these Ukrainian soldiers are preparing for it by digging ever deeper into their trenches. When they leave their defensive line, destruction is never far away: “The Russians have no dignity. They are targeting civilians, not soldiers. In this house lived an old lady. She is dead”. Weariness, a feeling shared by many Ukrainian soldiers deployed on the Eastern Front. Like this war doctor without emergency equipment. But it is above all a lot of weapons that the Ukrainian forces are waiting for. In particular armored vehicles to fight as equals against the Russians.
