The Plight of Russian Soldiers on Ukraine's Frontline

Ukrainian soldiers in the 24th Mechanised Brigade are facing a challenging and prolonged war on the front line against Russian forces. With open-ended service, limited leave, and a high casualty rate, these soldiers are committed to serving until the war ends. The brigade has seen significant changes since the outbreak of the war in 2014, with a threefold increase in size and the inclusion of volunteers and conscripts. Despite the difficulties, soldiers like "Jimmy" and "Yurii" continue to fight with determination and ingenuity. The conflict has taken a toll on Ukrainian families, with many struggling to cope with the loss and injuries suffered by their loved ones. The war has mobilized Ukrainian society, and a clear-cut victory is now the only acceptable outcome for many Ukrainians.
