I have been sitting in the forest for a month now, waiting for further orders. Actually, I have a lot of news, but there is none that I have the right to tell right now. The biggest problem for soldiers, so far, is the lack of leave and the opportunity to see relatives. 
Again:waiting is psychologically the hardest part of anything,whether it's a war or a trip to the dentist.From long waiting comes fear,fear gives rise to despair,despair is ready defeat. You should read a memoirs of Alain Bombard a 🇫🇷 doctor who studied survival in sea disasters
This man proved by his own example that despondency is the main reason for the death of sailors who find themselves in the open sea. not rejuvenation, not drowning, but despair. And the fight against hopeless circumstances is a sure way to salvation
It is despair that the Russians want to plant. Disappointment, not missiles and tanks are their main weapons. And here, as a realist, I see Ukraine's greatest hope - so far I don't see any hint of hopelessness and powerlessness between us. Only anger
The only thing that really worries us is that our lives have become the subject of political bargaining and fighting. But this is nothing new for world history. Each of us has our own challenges in this historical situation
I think the main thing is that we really feel support at the level of ordinary people. And this feeling, especially for civilians, it is that saving "shore" on which hope can lean. So thank you to all of you who build bonfires on the shore to give us direction in the storm.
And while I was writing all this philosophical mush, a wet puppy came out of the forest to me. I don't even know where it came from, but he clearly likes to warm his ass by the fire. I will be his shore of hope today and will throw more wood into the fire
