"But the hunting for enemy tanks was often hampered by the overwhelming Russian forces they faced and by inexperienced soldiers who too often gave up their position.
Which is what happened one fateful day in the woods of Donbas. Wali tried to warn two Ukrainians to put out their cigarettes and stick to the small, damp trench they’d dug, rather than move closer to nearby Russian tanks. Instinctively, he moved several metres away from the pair.
Moments later a huge explosion lit up the site, pieces of burning shrapnel shooting through the air “like lasers.” Then he saw the two Ukrainians. One lay on the ground, his legs and one arm gone, clearly ded. The other was still barely alive, his body rav@ged by the blast.
Then, “ten seconds after I came he stopped breathing.”
""But the incident in Irpin underscored how the experience was often more chaotic than glorious, an illustration of war’s “terrible disappointment,” the 40-year-old Quebecer said in a recent interview after returning to Canada."
Save your tales of Glory. Wali experienced hell in Ukraine, as the Russians overwhelmed them with numbers AND experience.
