we begin in ukraine, which is celebrating 30 years of independence this week. but it comes at a price many ukrainians are spending the day on the front lines. being a good, there are weeds at the bottom of the trenches. that's how long the frontline has been here. you have so forsaken. that's his battlefield name. this has meant months of living in and under the earth. this is where they sleep, eat and wait for something to happen. ukraine's national poet taught us should chem cook, which is all with 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 i am or it's mostly been an artillery 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 a tank attack, but believe me, if they come in we will meet them adequately with shot the futon right now it's the ukrainians were attacking they launched a counter offensive weeks ago and have taken a few dozen settlements and the advance is low jordan recipient. so 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 forward. so if you throw this super duty period as we traveled 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 mobile friendly because a break from the shelling lunch in the trenches. the soldiers have been living here too, for many months. soldiers, no strikes, are not tillery dumped. has the high mileage of the rocket launchers disrupt? the russians visible rows of pins for the pony. these strikes lead to less shelling from their side for a certain period of time. but the russians also adjust their logistics. they learn the lessons from our high mars and far ranging artillery political. what can we put later on? fortunately, the war is not just a permanent turn in our favor, but it's a process and it keeps changing it. so here in the trenches at the address on front, it's about patients moving forward carefully and keeping focused around
