In Ukraine, on the front line, mobile warfare has become trench warfare. The fighting continues to rage, particularly in Mykolaiv, in the south of the country, on the shores of the Black Sea.
Near Mykolaiv, Ukraine, one of the bombing hotspots, soldiers ukrainians patrol, in a village that has become unrecognizable and symptomatic of the brutal war in progress. “Now we stand in positions where the Russians were. We pushed them back, but now they’re trying to break through“, testifies Yevhen, Ukrainian military doctor.
The front line is not far. After months of fighting, the conflict bogged down, giving way to trench warfare. “Morale is higher than in the early days of the war, when we were constantly losing ground and everyone expected it to fall the next day. But it was high when everyone expected the Russian forces to collapse the next day. Now we’re somewhere in the middle“, says a Ukrainian soldier. An exceptional situation has become routine for the fighters. Wednesday, August 24 will mark the six months of the war in Ukraine.
