Bad day, day 2.

Another day when we tried to restore railway connection to recently retaken Town B, but failed again. Have a sit.

The morning was perfect. 3km morning run in #Kharkiv under the rain.

The rest of my morning I spent at the station. #Kharkiv was blackouted again. I ensured that trains depart on time and the station is illuminated. I believe on a day like today, people must see that railways remain fully operational. That's about trust.

Then we departed in a direction of Town B. On a train that was ready to carry first passengers from Town B to Kharkiv. Everything started well.

Long drive again. Good time to think about life.

And long walk again. Another 10+ km of hypnotizing walking on the track.

Track is already repaired. Team is motivated and eager to do the job to get to Town B ASAP.

Guys presented me the same bolt that caught the bullet. Remember unbelievable photos from yesterday? Will make something to remember of it.

Many shells in one place. Looks like there was a soldier firing from this place.

Then we found a base of #russian soldiers right near the track. That’s where they fired from machine gun.

They lived like pigs. Indeed.

Loving buckwheat.

Using the umbrella of unfriendly colors.

Drug addicted.

But loving #Lego.

And loving #USSR. What’s on your mind if you paint “USSR” on the ammo box? BTW, the star is a #NATO star.

And then two sappers hit a mine. One is dead, second is injured. RIP.
