Description:
“A Ukrainian language teacher from Kryvyi Rih, a window installer from Dnipro, a former criminal from Kherson, a grain truck driver from a small Poltava village, a café owner by the Kakhovka Reservoir, a writer from Kyiv, a welder from a metallurgical plant, an auto mechanic, a former student – none of them intended to become soldiers. But when the Russian invasion began, they all took up arms to defend their country. Now they are fighters of a separate assault battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Together with the heroes, you experience the journey from forming the unit to fighting the enemy: first assaults, liberated villages and their residents, harsh life in the trenches, injuries and deaths of comrades, disappointments and losses, fleeting military happiness, the end of their past life, and the beginning of a new one.” Vivat
