Departure of Soldiers to Conflict Zone

This is Alexey,

and today he’s flying

to the combat zone

of the special military operation.

And these are his family

and loved ones, who came to

see him off. How are you feeling right now?

What emotions are you experiencing?

I'm fine.

Happy, pleased.

And this is Evgeny.

He’s Alexey’s relative. Are you sad?

Well, no, it’s kind of a celebration.

What three things did you bring

with you to remind you of home?

Do you have anything?

I don't know.

At least a photo, something.

The photos are on my phone.

And this is the saddest moment— the

actual send- off to the departure

zone.
