‘Welcome to War’. 36-year-old Vadim shouted as he was driven from Konstantinovka to the front in a pick-up truck. The trip is to the front trenches recently captured from Russia. The region is located in Bakhmut, eastern Ukraine.
Beautiful scenery. Beautiful sunflower and wheat fields. However, there were continuous shelling and tank attacks. Vadim drives very fast on the cracked tar road. The young man said it was to escape from Russian drones.
After the tar road and then the bumpy dirt road, when he reached the forest area, Vadim suggested that he should walk ahead and come back on foot at the same place. Travel to the trench where the Ukrainian soldiers live. The path was marked with green plastic tapes. Except for that part, landmines planted by Russian soldiers can be seen everywhere. It is ensured that there are no mines inside the green mark.
As it is summer, it is extremely hot in the bunkers. It only has communication devices, toothpaste, water bottle and bedding. Soldiers sleep on bunk beds.
A rotting body of a Russian soldier was also found in another such trench. After Wagner’s army retreated from Bahmut, the Russian army launched a direct attack.
