They talk about the massive use of drones by Russians. “The danger from drones is huge, they see everything and usually immediately open fire,” says a military man named Andrey.

“The enemy sees all our movements. Usually we can only move at night. We need night vision goggles and armored vehicles are also very necessary. The enemy is chasing us with helicopters, planes, anti-tank weapons,” he says.

Both in the south and in the east “the Russian defense is strong”, which causes high losses.

“Anyone who visits Ukrainian hospitals these days can see the price soldiers are paying: countless fighters have lost arms, legs and feet. NATO sources say there have been tens of thousands of them since the start of the war,” the article says.

Ukrainian servicewoman Margarita believes that “the situation is very difficult” and the quick liberation of the territories is “impossible.”

“The situation has always been difficult, and now even more difficult. Behind every centimeter of the liberated territory are the lives of many fighters. There are casualties, heavy fighting. The Russian army does not degrade and fights primitively, some parts fight very effectively and improve, use drones. Their army itself seems weak, but they are improving and trying to keep up with technology,” she says.
