The military are confident of ultimate victory, but do miss home and family.
The Ukrainian army is tempered not on exercises and in barracks, and at the forefront of the ATO. Fighters say that only here can formed a real army to be proud of and which is able to protect the state from external enemies, according to a story TSN.19:30.
“War is not just to shoot. Have firewood to cook. We have a ride, but when the shelling most have to fend and cook,” – says the fighter with the Callsign “Serb”. “Want to go home, warm warm coffee, hug your girlfriend, watch TV, eat something, some kind of soup,” adds the soldier Rambo.

Under the open sky in the fields of Azov soldiers are fighting two enemies – the weather and the “Russian world”, which is very close by and constantly reminded of the large caliber and the day and night. In war they say guys get used to everything: attacks, heavy physical labor, to fire. Can’t get used to the deaths of human beings and to separation from their families.
Meanwhile, the defense of Ukraine “congratulate” the holiday is family and loved ones, and supporters of the “Russian world”. Morning on the forefront begins with attacks from enemy rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons. Men of different age unite and fight back. They say that in war a man can be seen directly, x-ray. In threat tests formed the belief. “God protects, God is always with us. We believe in God, we know that God will help us because we are on their land, because defending their land,” says the fighter “Elvin”.
The new army is a young army. Elders teach the younger, those who only just signed the contract. Concerned for their lives and from time to time cooled the ardor of youth, so that they do not do anything stupid. “It was not like someone staged a tantrum. Someone gets used faster, who is slower. Trying to explain, to train and get used to it,” says experienced “moon”. Really, you get used to the attacks, and to heavy physical labor and a harsh life. But what is not possible is to get used to the deaths of human beings and to separation from their families. War teaches you to appreciate people, not things – the most.
