This time, the trip to the East to the 93rd Brigade was not to deliver rebs, drones or other technological gizmos.
This time we were going to give them pleasant emotions, support their morale and motivation.
And thanks to the talented Zlata Ognevich and the cool guitarist-singer Alexander Lozovski, we succeeded in the best possible way.
At the beginning of the performance, the soldiers had a serious face, but after a couple of songs and after the words from the stage: "let the whole f@cking country die," smiles appeared on their faces, they started applauding to the beat, and some even sang along.
At the end of the day, we received flowers, photos and signatures on flags. The next day, we went to the training grounds and talked in small groups.
You can see how the men blossomed and stood up at the sight of the girls. They wanted to show and tell us more.
We were gladly allowed to become part of the training process, performing mechanical functions, such as throwing an 80- or 120-mm mine or even driving the APC a little.
For us, it is an unusual emotion and an interesting experience. For the soldiers, it is a variety and cool memories. Joint photos, signed flags, smiles, wishes for accurate shots, returning alive and a speedy destruction of the enemy.
Seeing the reaction, surprise and delight in the eyes of the military, their joy at the photos together, I can say for sure that they were charged with emotions and motivation.
It is very cool that artists regularly travel and support the military. This is the way it should be. Zlata and Oleksandr, thank you for finding the opportunity and courage to inspire, share your energy and give such important smiles in not the safest places.
Bodia, Volodya, Andrey, Dmitry and Alexey - thank you for your warm welcome. As always. To all the defenders - thank you for your daily work!
