- I just heard that some of our soldiers died at the front today, and someone died in Kyiv as well.
This is a terrible tragedy that cannot be forgiven, says 27-year-old Pavlo Pryzjehodskyj to the Reuters news agency.
Before the war, Pavlo worked as a musician.
In the trenches, he performs a song he wrote after 12 soldiers from his group were killed in one and the same evening.
Oleh Zahrodskyj, 49, fights back tears as he thinks about his son who is fighting for his life in hospital after a head injury.
