Fighters of the Cold Yar Returned from the Front: 130 Days of Fighting, Trophy Weapons, and a Captive.

According to ТСН: The fighters of the 93rd Brigade returned from the front line after 130 days in combat positions. Along with them – trophy weapons and a captured Russian. The story about their comrades, infantrymen with callsigns 'Ka-2' and 'Bars', was shared by TSN correspondent Natalia Nagorna.

Three soldiers arrived on an ATV: two infantrymen and the captive. Dirty, exhausted, but smiling, they return from 'zero'.

How the Battles Went

Denis with the callsign 'Bars' and Dmitry with the callsign 'K2'. They share their impressions of the combat operations:

“Today we accomplished a lot, we take pride in our work, and we will keep working. It was scary the first time, but then it became routine. It is good when you're shooting and not being shot at. Medicines, food, sausages - everything was available, we worked hard, dug well, we dismantled our house with FPVs, but it’s good that we dug well, we managed to survive.”

Just in the morning, they were at their positions and walked six kilometers on foot. After over four months of service, they are hard to recognize: 'K2' worked as a cook in a restaurant, while 'Bars' worked on a locomotive. When they went to 'zero', 'Bars' was 26 years old, and now he is a year older.

The Captive Russian

During the battles, 'K2' lost his assault rifle but returned with a trophy. The captured Russian was taken by his comrades, while 'Bars' and 'K2' simply brought him from the neighboring position.

“He spent two months at the neighboring position, and we just brought him over. He says he wants to live in Ukraine.”

The captive's name is Danilo Sychov; he spent two months with the Ukrainian military and is already beginning to understand Ukrainian:

“I understand a little. I helped, finished building the position. I was there for 60-something days.”

This is not an interrogation; Danilo explains how he ended up in the war:

“I served in the Republic of Armenia at the 102nd military base, I was a commander of the anti-tank missile system, I hit an officer, and I was sent to Novocherkassk.”

Plans for the Future

Meanwhile, 'K2' and 'Bars' are planning their future:

“After four months, at least to take a shower.”

Their comrades provide them with phones, and both contact their mothers. 'K2' laughs at his mother's request to send a photo, while 'Bars', shyly, hides a cigarette behind his back. This is their happy day, and a vacation awaits them ahead.

Returning from the front line is not only a physical return but also an emotional moment for the soldiers. Having experienced many adventures, they leave behind a mark of courage and brotherhood that will support them in their new roles upon returning to peaceful life. It is important that such stories not only reflect the circumstances of military actions but also highlight the human face that always remains beyond the clashes.
