"The most difficult section is where we are now. Even more difficult than the Bakhmut direction," says tank platoon commander Volodymyr (Veres) Naumets.
At the age of 24, he has already been on the most difficult routes, but here - on Lyman, he says, it is very intensive, since the russians went on the offensive.
"They want to get better lines of defense, to advance to have a more advantageous position, as well as to withdraw our reserves from the Bakhmut direction, the Zaporizhzhia direction, but our guys are standing firm," the young commander explains.
Here, his 63rd mechanized brigade holds the Serebryan Forestry. According to Veres, it is difficult for tanks to fight in the forest - they have to clear it first. But, says Veres, the offensive was expected here, because in other directions the russians are on the defensive.
Veres studied economics. Although he graduated from the military department, he sat in a tank for the first time during the invasion. And history seems to be repeating itself. His grandfather Vasyl Naumets went to World War II at the age of 20, Volodymyr at 22. His grandfather finished the war as a tank company commander, Veres is currently a platoon commander.
"Life turned out so that I had to take this burden on myself and carry out tasks," Volodymyr says modestly about what it's like to be a commander at the age of 24.
