In a scene straight out of ”All Quiet on the Western Front,” shocking footage posted on social media Saturday shows at least four Ukrainian soldiers stationed in muddied trenches, braving brutally cold elements as they await the invading enemy.
Two of the four stand in makeshift living quarters created with debris overlapping a portion of the trenched area, as rifles and empty water bottles lay in the muddied waters nearby. Other areas are covered with patches of snow.
One of the soldiers lies flat on a board to protect himself from the cold mud, as another is heard coughing nearby.
