Donbas. A hot and tragic August 2014. Back then, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were going through not the best times. Under the slogans of many politicians that we have no enemies and we do not need a powerful army, the best military equipment was sold out, and combat units were reduced. Consciously or unconsciously, the army was being brought to a non-combat-ready state.
But despite all that, professionals remained in the ranks and they did everything to preserve the equipment and save the military collectives and combat traditions. You could count on them in the most difficult moment, and it was they who preserved that spirit, the moral strength that enabled us to resist the Russian army for eight years and force the "world's second army" to retreat even after the beginning of an all-out invasion.
