Lieutenant Yulia Mykytenko, commander of a drone reconnaissance unit in Ukraine's 54th mechanized brigade, feels the weight of war. At 29, she knows fatigue well, yet she believes in the necessity of Western support for negotiations.

The constant conflict has shaped her perspective, showcasing the struggles faced by Ukrainian forces. The absence of international backing would deepen the challenges they endure. 

In this theater of war, the contrast between "far right" and "progressive" ideologies looms large. Yet, it is the camaraderie and resilience of soldiers like Yulia that remain at the forefront of Ukraine's fight for survival.
