Istoryk, a 26-year-old soldier in eastern Ukraine, finally managed to fall asleep one morning, exhausted from the relentless battles against Russian forces in the pinewood forests near Kreminna.
Servicemen of the 67th Mechanised Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine appear at a position in a frontline near Kreminna, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Luhansk region, Ukraine November 2, 2023. REUTERS/Alina SmutkoAs winter approaches, reality of a long war sets inKyiv says more support needed from West to gain initiativeHis rest was cut short just an hour later when a fresh firefight broke out, forcing the senior combat medic back into action in a fierce and lengthy exchange.
Istoryk, speaking in a broad west Ukrainian accent, recounts his grim experiences with a winning smile. Istoryk said Russia had taken "huge" losses in the area; five Ukrainian soldiers in an evacuation team were also killed by recent shelling nearby, he added. More dramatic advances are still possible; last year Russian forces swiftly retreated from positions in Kherson region in early November. But offensive operations could be stymied by muddy conditions.
