which has celebrating 30 years of independence this week. but it comes at a price many ukrainians are spending the day on the front lines. ah, there are a weeds at the bottom of the trenches. that's how long the frontline has been here . you have for for satan that says battlefield name. this has many months of living in and under this is where they sleep, eat and wait for something to happen. the cranes national poet tara shanker, which has over them. when they shell us, we all come down here to people have to stay outside to monitor the situation. the others hide in here it's mostly been and not hillary being shell shelling back, waiting for the next round. 2 sides target each other from a distance trying to damage

a position enough to then storm. not just a part of the front is in danger of attack, but believe me, if they come we will meet them adequately with those shots. right now it's the ukrainians were attacking they launched a counter offensive weeks ago and i've taken a few dozen settlements and the advance is low jordan recipient. we liberate the settlement that we can when we do, we don't move into the village. but we make sure the russians are gone. we don't go in, in order not to risk our soldiers live. that is important. when the command thinks that we have enough weapons and how soldiers will happily move for you for other super duty period. because we travel to another position scorched, we can't get information on how many modern western weapons they have. at this

section at the front. we are constantly told it is not enough to move on the more boldly. because a break from the shelling lunch in the trenches when the soldiers have been living here too for many months soldiers, no the strikes are not. hillary dumps has the high miles of rocket launchers, disruptive russians, things from opponent, dr. lee to less shelling from their side for a certain period of time. but the russians also adjust their logistics. they learn the lessons from l. highmark and far ranging artillery. unfortunately, the war is not just a permanent turn in our favor. it's a process and it keeps changing itself here in the trenches at their own front. it's about patients moving forward carefully and keeping focusing on
