Sergei’s Ambition and a Bottle of Water on the Front Line
For Ukrainian soldiers, fighting on the front lines is part of the burden of defending their country. That is why Sergei has joined the war.

The Russian-Ukrainian war entered its fifth month on Friday (24/6/2022). Over the past 120 days, Ukrainian forces have been defending their country against the Russian invasion. Among these soldiers are some who are wishing for a short break to restore morale, while others are continuing to train as they wait to be deployed.
Russia’s continued aggression has made it impossible for Ukrainian troops to relax. “I don’t know when I will be called to the front line. I must always be ready,” Sergei Y., a sniper from a Ukrainian militia unit, said on Thursday (23/6).
