For "Gulliver" and his mortar squad, who fights as part of the 59th motorized infantry brigade, war is both work and life. He has been here since 2014. And this is his 10th winter at the front.
"The maximum that we had was enough for six months at home, we ran back." While the anti-terrorist operation lasted, military personnel signed short-term contracts with the army for six months, then re-signed them. As the full-scale invasion began, "the best man and I had already packed our backpacks."
The 59th is the brigade that met on February 24 at the training ground in Oleshki. There was also Misha, a mortarman with the call sign "Fartovy". With battles, under constant shelling, the brigade left the encirclement. After those events, everything seems not so terrible. The 59th was recapturing the right bank of the Kherson region, and has been holding the lines from the southern flank of Avdiivka to Maryinka for a year.
Now this is one of the most difficult directions, because the Russians have the goal of capturing Avdiivka and pushing the defense forces away from Donetsk.
Mortars work every day in the cold and under fire, they do not leave their positions because there is no replacement. But it has long been perceived as a job from which they do not plan to give up
