Friday, February 24, it will be a year since Russia launched its war against Ukraine. Tens of thousands of men have signed up to defend their country. What is the morale of these soldiers on the front? The France Télévisions teams talk.
They are finally there, the commander and his second. It must be said that the 28e brigade has only one old Soviet clunker to come and go from the front. For a year, war has been raging on these old roads of Donbass. The commander met by the journalists enlisted on the first day of the conflict. After a year of fighting, morale is tainted. “From my old brigade of 100 [militaires]there are only 15 left“, reports a soldier who stands guard.
Rare permissions
Fathers of families have not been able to see their children for many months. A soldier says that the last time he saw his two daughters, he did not recognize them, they had grown so much. Permissions to go see them are rare. For the commander, this is not the priority. Too few of his men know how to handle mortars.
