Three Russian soldiers were patrolling among the silent ruins.

Bang! Phew! One bullet pierced through the Russian soldier's body, causing him to fall.

“Sniper!”

“Enemy!”

“Stay down!” Russian soldiers began to yell and shout.

Bang! Phew! Bang! Phew! Two bullets struck and killed all the Russian soldiers in the blink of an eye. Every sound became quiet. The wind blew towards the ruins of an abandoned building not far away.

“18...19...20...” A young man was counting numbers looking through a sniper scope.

“Yesterday we picked up 10 Russian soldiers and picked up 10 Russian soldiers from Chaina (

Chen Chen)

3 ... and today they picked up 3 more Russian soldiers ... for a total of 26 ... We've been here for almost 12 days already …” the young man said to himself. Ready to use rubble to mark the number of killings and the number of days on the ground...

The boy looked away from the sniper scope to rest his eyes. After he had looked through it all day, His eyes slowly closed and he fell asleep from exhaustion.

“(Have this much wisdom What are you going to do!?)”

“(Look at that guy. He's so naive. Hahaha...)”

“(That is your problem...)”

“(No one wants to talk to you...)”

“(I don't want to talk to you anymore !)”

“(Stay strong, child. Even if I have to fight alone...)” There were many snoring and cursing sounds from the past. There were loud voices popping up in his head.

The young man was startled. along with the sound of a radio notification

“Meta Knight

This is the center. There are a number of Russian soldiers coming towards you. Change…” the radio voice on the other end of the line announced.

“Acknowledged, Center broke up…” The young man radioed back.

The young man opened his eyes and looked through the sniper scope again. Waiting to see through everything with a scope.

Some time has passed... A group of five Russian soldiers was walking past his position. The young man held his breath. Pull the trigger and send a bullet through the air.

Bang! Phew! Ah! The bullet pierced the Russian soldier's leg and knocked him to the ground. The Russian soldier screamed in pain. The remaining Russian soldiers crouched and ran for cover. Some Russian soldiers just stood there frozen, afraid of doing something wrong. Without hesitation, the young man fired the bullet and killed the unfortunate Russian soldier.

A young boy pulls the trigger, sending bullets that kill all the Russian soldiers. There were only two Russian soldiers who were hiding behind the rubble and another Russian soldier lying injured in front of them. Those two Russian soldiers Started to shout louder.

“Олаф! Не двигайся! Оставайтесь на месте! (Olaf! Don't move! Stay still!”) A Russian soldier shouted to his friend.

“это очень ранит… (It hurts so much…)” A Russian soldier named Olaf lay down crying in pain.

“Будь сильным первым Я собираюсь помочь! (Be firm first! I'm on my way to help!)” That Russian soldier Get up and prepare to run out to help your friend. But another Russian soldier He grabbed his neck and fell down to stop him.

“How much does Ekaterina look like? у! (Do you really want to kill yourself!? He intended to use him as bait!),” another Russian soldier scolded.

“Мне равно! Мы должны ему помочь! (I don't care! We must help him!)” the Russian soldier argued.

Bang! Phew! Ah! Another bullet hit Olaf's body, causing blood to stop flowing out. Olaf screamed in pain.

“Олаф! (Olaf !)” That Russian soldier ran out to help a friend

“не надо ! (Don't!),” another Russian soldier shouted.

Bang! Phew! The bullet went through and killed the Russian soldier. Until he died and fell to the ground in front of everyone. Another Russian soldier saw someone die before his eyes. Therefore, a mental breakdown occurred. Emerge from cover and shoot around the area.

“Конечно! Высунуть голову!? (Really sure! Pop your head out!? You bastards!)” the Russian soldier shouted in challenge.

Bang! Phew! Another bullet struck and took his life, as requested. The Russian soldier's body fell motionless to the ground... Russian soldier lying wounded I could only breathe in agony.

“Ха... ха-ха... отец... да... мать... да... пожалуйста... помогите... мне... тоже... Я... хочу.. . вернуться... домой... Я... хочу... вернуться... домой... да... ха-ха... (Haha...Ha...Father...Yes. ..Mom...yes....can...please...help...me...too... I...want...to...go home... I...want...to...go home...hee...ha...)” The Russian soldier moaned and cried out in excruciating pain.

The young man looked through the sniper scope and adjusted the focus until he could clearly see the face of the Russian soldier. The young man held his breath and suddenly fired the gun, killing the poor Russian soldier...

Bang! The sound of a gun rang out. That bullet put the poor Russian soldier's breath away from his torment.

“(Sigh..!)...” The young man sighed at what he had done. All the Russian soldiers he had just killed. Almost all of them were teenagers. The face of that Russian soldier Still looking soft like other teenagers. But they had to be conscripted to fight in the war like everyone else. He turned over onto his back next to his sniper rifle.

Close your eyes and think back to the past when he was a newly volunteered foreign soldier...

Images of past events flashed into my head.

"hello everyone ! My name is Trainer James (

James)

former special forces unit

SAS (Special Air Services)

I'm your chief instructor! There isn't much ceremony! I don't care why you guys are volunteer foreign soldiers.

International Legion) !?

But I will train you all hard. It hurts to the point of death. Until I couldn't beg for my life. without any mercy For you all to survive! All right! Start training!” the head instructor ordered.

While everyone was training hard and diligently. One man fired a handgun at his friend. Everyone ran around to see what was going on...

“I'm sorry!... I didn't mean to! It was an accident...!” The man could only apologize. Releasing his hand, he dropped the pistol to the ground and stood trembling with fear and stiffness. While his friend was lying in a pool of blood, breathing heavily, his condition was close to ruinous. The head instructor walked in. but didn't say anything Besides giving orders

“Pick up your pistol…” the head instructor ordered, so the man picked up the gun.

“Kill him…” the head instructor ordered.

"no ! I can't do it!” the man said.

The head instructor didn't say anything. With a pistol drawn and pointed at the back of the man's head.

“Do it! Before I take your life!” the head instructor ordered.

"no ! I can't do it!” The man repeated.

“5...4...3...2...1...” The head instructor counted the numbers and pressed on. The man stared into the eyes of his friend who was breathing heavily. Before he decides...

“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”

Bang! The sound of a gun rang out. The man lost consciousness, dropped the gun and fell to his knees on the ground. with trembling hands That man almost shot himself to death. The head instructor's shot also narrowly missed his head.

“Take him and get him treated…” the head instructor ordered. The other trainers all joined together to drag the injured man out of there, along with a long trail of blood.

“Haha...ha...dad...yes...mom...yes.... I...want...to...go home... Can you...take...me...back...home...? I...want...back...home...haha...ha. ..” The injured man Moaning and crying out before being dragged away by the trainer

“You guys saw it, right!? No matter who fought to the death, it looked like there was no chance of survival. Either you or your friends Then take your own life! Death may be the only way to free all of us from suffering... On the battlefield, there is no room for amateurs... War never has mercy on anyone...” the head instructor warned.

that event This created great depression for all the new volunteer foreign soldiers. Everyone just stood there in silence. Can't say anything When the head instructor saw this So we don't train everyone anymore.

“Alright! That's enough for today, everyone break up in line! Disperse!” The head instructor ordered everyone to disperse. He let the man sit like that with his knees curled.

“I'm...sorry...I'm...sorry...I'm...sorry...” The man could only blame himself over and over.

The young man stood and watched the whole incident. Without saying anything...

“(Death may be the only way to free all of us from suffering... )” This voice still resounds in my head. A young boy frees a poor Russian soldier from his torment. But the image of that poor Russian soldier lingered in his mind, and it may have been the only mercy he could have shown his enemy in a brutal battle...

Free them from their suffering...

Time passed until morning.

It appeared to be the footsteps of Russian soldiers accompanied by Russian conversation. Walking up near his hiding place The young boy quickly grabbed an assault rifle.

UAR-15

and hurriedly put the sniper rifle and belongings into the bag and prepared to escape. The child hid in the corner of the room, waiting for the moment when the Russian soldier walked in...

A Russian soldier walked into the room. The young man opened fire and shot and killed the Russian soldier. The Russian soldiers outside the room opened fire and returned fire into the room. Both sides fired back at each other.

“Enemy! It's in there!”

“Throw a grenade!” shouted a Russian soldier.

Three grenades were thrown into the room.

“Too bad!” the young man exclaimed and quickly ran and jumped out of the window.

Boom!!!! The force of the explosion knocked the young man flying and crashing heavily onto the ground below. until his ankle was injured

“It's down there! It's not dead yet!”

“Shoot him!” The Russian soldiers fired at the young man. The young man quickly got up and tried to run away. Even though his ankle was injured But he still forced himself to run.

“Pursue it!” the Russian soldier ordered. All the Russian soldiers rushed downstairs, intending to kill the young man.

The child could only run for his life. As the Russian soldiers chased and fired at him without stopping...

The young man ran away until he stopped in the middle of a forest. When he saw that there were no Russian soldiers following him, So he sat back and rested... When dusk fell, the young man dug a hole for a fire. Resting in the middle of the forest Ready to give first aid to minor injuries, then go to bed and prepare to go into the city tomorrow...

Picture of the city atmosphere

The next morning...

The young man walked into the city in a weary state. He went straight to the hospital to get treatment for his ankle injury. Inside the hospital, there were many citizens, Ukrainian soldiers, and volunteer foreign soldiers waiting for treatment. Everywhere you look you see people affected by the wounds of war.

Some people just sit and look blank. But the doctors, medical staff, and volunteer nurses still perform their duties to the best of their ability. To help everyone, at least it's still enough to alleviate some of the wounds of war... Even though we can't help everyone's mental state...

On the hospital bed

“Your ankle is fine. Just a sprained ankle. But I had to rest for a week for the sprained ankle to heal,” said a Ukrainian volunteer doctor.

“Thank you very much, doctor…” The young man thanked him and got out of the hospital bed to let others use it. The young man then walked out of the hospital.

The young man walked back to the volunteer foreign soldier housing building, took a shower, and changed into new clothes. Revealing wounds on the body The young man lay down on the field bed and rested for a while. Before deciding to walk out of bed... The young man walked outside again. See the atmosphere in the city

People still walked out and lived their normal lives. Mix in with the soldiers patrolling the streets. It was as if there had never been a war here. It was as if they were standing in different worlds. Even though some parts of the city are now in ruins... The young man walked towards an underground parking lot that was used as a public cafeteria for distributing food to volunteer foreign soldiers.

A young boy walked into the line and waited to receive food. Today, chocolate is also given out to all volunteer foreign soldiers. Everyone rushed to form a long line. The young man stood and waited in line for a long time. until it was his turn A young boy received a stew

Guliash 1

A cup and a packet of good chocolate from Belgium and a glass of water when he received the food. So they separated to find seats. The young man sat down on an unoccupied seat and looked down at the food in front of him. The aroma of food slowly rose up to his nostrils. Even though it is a normal Ukrainian food,

But it was the best meal I'd had in months. In addition to field food (

Ration)

that he had tasted The young boy ate the food little by little, remembering the taste. While he was sitting there eating He looked around and saw other foreign soldiers volunteering to eat together and chatting happily. Except for him, who was sitting alone eating. It made him relive the past events at the cafeteria.

At that time, all the volunteer foreign soldiers were eating together and chatting happily. But no one came to sit at the table with him. causing him to have to sit and eat food alone all the time One day he was eating alone as usual. A group of volunteer foreign military trainers sat together at a nearby table to eat.

When the head instructor saw that the young man was eating alone, So he separated from the group and came to sit at the table.

“My name is James. Is this seat available? May I sit with you? What is your name?” the head instructor asked.

events that day It's a good story that he still remembers and will never forget...

The young man looked down at the food left on the table. Ready to reach out and grab some chocolate to eat. But his chocolate disappeared. He tried to look for his chocolate. Until he found his chocolate in the hands of a young Ukrainian child who was unwrapping his chocolate.

“You can't! That's his chocolate! I can't secretly take other people's things like this! Give him back!” Ukrainian volunteer cook Tell her to restrain her baby and take the chocolate from him.

“I apologize. My child is such a naughty child…” The Ukrainian volunteer cook apologized and handed back the chocolate. The child could only look at him with sad eyes.

“Все гаразд, все добре... (It's okay. It's okay...)” the young man replied in Ukrainian.

“You want chocolate, right? So, why don't you come and share it with me?” The young man broke half of the chocolate and handed it to the little boy. The little boy happily accepted the other half of the chocolate. So the two ate chocolate together. Then the young man picked up the child and sat him on his lap and joined them at the table to eat. The two of them ate happily. After everyone was full

Finished with the meal The young boy asked his mother's permission to take the little boy for a walk in the city. The child's mother allowed this because she was busy. So the young man took the little boy out for a walk in the city.

The two held hands and walked through the city together. Until a young boy came to rest at a playground and saw a little boy running happily with other children. A bright smile on the child's face Make him smile again. Until he began to feel “(Every story Even if it's a small good story.

But those little smiles It may be an important encouragement that drives and heals mental wounds to move forward each day in the midst of a brutal war. No matter how cruel this world is He still walked forward with that smile...)”

The young boy had packed up his things. Prepare to leave the city and return to continue fighting. A young boy was walking out of the city. along with dragging a cart to put things in Other volunteer foreign soldiers standing in the streets They all stared at him with strange eyes. A Polish foreign soldier saw a young man walking out of town alone. So I walked in to ask...

“Where are you going alone?” Polish foreign soldier volunteer Ask in English Polish accent

“Let's go back out and continue fighting... Is there something wrong?” the young man asked.

“Are you going to go alone? And what about your team?” a Polish foreign soldier asked.

“I have been fighting alone since the Battle of the City.

Kherson

It's been three months now," the young man replied.

“Do you want to take the car with us? Please send us away?” a Polish volunteer foreign soldier asked persuasively.

"It's okay. I can walk by myself..." the young man refused.

“But the distance from here Go to another city. It's very far. It's better to get in the car with us... to reach the destination first We can part ways...” Foreign soldier, Polish volunteer convince the young man again

“Alright…” The young man agreed because he couldn't stand the urging of foreign soldiers from the Polish volunteers.

"good ! Then get in the car!” a Polish volunteer foreign soldier urged.

Ready to carry your own luggage into the car. Everyone sat huddled together inside the car. Because the space inside is not very wide. When the Polish volunteer foreign soldiers saw that everyone had gotten into the vehicle, So he gave a signal to the driver.

“Let's go!” said a foreign soldier, a Polish volunteer, to an armored vehicle.

BTR-4

So the wheels began to turn and travel.

During the trip Everyone in the car chatted and teased each other happily. Except for the young man who just sat silently and refused to speak to anyone. Until reaching the destination, everyone got out of the car and prepared to disperse to do their mission.

“Are you sure you won't go with us?” the Polish volunteer foreign soldier asked.

“I prefer to go it alone…” the young man replied.

“Then let's both of us exchange radio frequencies. In case there is anything, we can contact each other to help. My group's radio frequency is 416.38.

young boy said

When the two of them finished exchanging radio frequencies The two of them separated and said goodbye there. The young man went to hide in the ruins of an abandoned building that was used as a sniper spot. He crouched down and waited for a sniper as usual. Meanwhile, he recalled the reason why he had always fought alone...

Some voices echoed in his head...

“We are surrounded!”

“Damn Ivan (

Ivan *

The insults used to refer to Russian people are all over the place!”

“Be careful! Ahhh!”

A group of foreign military volunteers was heavily surrounded by Russian troops. The volunteer foreign soldiers were killed one by one.

"go ! Hurry and get out of here!” the head instructor ordered. All the volunteer foreign soldiers ran for their lives. while running away and shooting and fighting Everyone ran away and scattered in different directions.

The young man ran away with his head instructor. But the head instructor collapsed and fell to the ground. The young man hurriedly helped him up.

“Is something wrong with you!? Damn it! oh my God ! You were shot!?” The young man was shocked by the head instructor's blood on his palm. Ready to take out first aid equipment to dress the wound.

"The blood keeps flowing like this... There's no benefit... Leave me here..." the head instructor said.

"no ! There will never be a day that I will leave you here! We must escape from here!” the young man insisted.

“You idiot! Listen! This is the only chance for any of us to survive, so get out of here!” The head instructor cursed, grabbing his neck and pushing the young man away. The two of them looked at each other one last time.

“They're over there!”

“Kill him!” a Russian soldier shouted. Shouting loudly behind The Russian soldiers began to come closer and closer to them.

"run ! Hurry and run away! No need to turn back! Hurry!” Head Instructor Shouting orders for the last time The head instructor turned to fire on the Russian soldiers.

“Really, come in! You bastards! I'm here!” The head instructor shouted in challenge, ready to shoot tricks to delay the Russian soldiers. giving the young man a chance to escape The young man had to turn and run away. Let the head trainer face the Russian military forces alone.

Bang! The sound of a gun rang out. with the sound of the trainer's breathing quietening

The young man could only run for his life. With tears flowing down his cheeks.

“Heh...ha... I'm...sorry... I'm...sorry... I'm...sorry...ha...ha...” The young man blamed himself. That cannot help anyone at all.

Pictures of memories of past events It still haunts him to this day. This was why he had always chosen to fight alone…

Time passed until night fell...

The sky tonight is completely dark, unable to see the light of the stars. The boy saw everything through a night vision/infrared sniper scope. Watch every movement in the night. The sound of gunfire and explosions could be heard from far away. But he didn't care much because it was a normal thing that happened every day.

The young man then took his eyes off the scope. Because there was no movement outside. He took out his radio and searched for a signal to eavesdrop on the enemy's movements. Until I came across a signal wave with the sound of a conversation coming on...

"this

GROM !

Call all nearby units! We are surrounded! Need help urgently! Can anyone hear me!? change !? I repeat! We are surrounded! Need help urgently! Can anyone hear me!? change !? Please, anyone can! Change!?” The voice of a foreign soldier, a Polish volunteer. asking for help

“GROM  

this

Meta Knight 

Where are you guys?” the young man asked.

“Abandoned school in the northeast!” replied a Polish volunteer foreign soldier. The young man pointed a telescope at the area.

“I see! Damn it... My sniper rifle's range is out of reach! I'm going to help! Please be patient... Change..." The young man on the radio said.

Zaa...zaa...zaa... No one answered the radio.

“Damn…” the young man cursed.

A young boy rose from his hiding place and rushed to the aid of a group of Polish volunteer foreign soldiers who were stuck in the middle of a Russian military encirclement. The young boy stomped through the darkness. without night vision goggles (

Night Vision Google)

Amid the dark and perilous ruins while avoiding the Russian soldiers who were roaming around everywhere He came to the ruins of an abandoned building not far from the abandoned school and high enough to serve as a sniper point. The young boy quickly set up his sniper rifle and looked into the abandoned school.

A group of Polish volunteer foreign soldiers were seen fighting fiercely against Russian soldiers. The boy held his breath and shot the Russian soldiers one by one.

“Whose work was that?” a Polish foreign soldier asked.

“GROM  

It's me.

Meta Knight 

Are you guys still okay?” the young man on the radio asked.

“Still fine, is that you?” a Polish foreign soldier asked over the radio, but the two hadn't talked much before. Russian reinforcements attacked again. The young boy tried to shoot and help everyone break through the encirclement.

“Run to me this way at 9 o'clock, I've already cleared the path!” said the young man on the radio.

“Everyone, hurry!” ordered a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

Everyone ran towards the abandoned building that the young man had used as a sniper. To set up a group again.

Everyone gathered inside the abandoned building.

"Thank you... for taking the risk to help us..." a Polish volunteer foreign soldier said in gratitude.

"nevermind... But why are you guys so easily trapped in the middle of the Russian encirclement?” the young man asked.

“At first, I saw that there were not many Russians. But after fighting with each other for a while They kept sending in reinforcements, as if they were well prepared and planning to deal with us. Until we were stuck in the middle of their encirclement as you can see...” replied a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

"It's starting to get unsafe here..." the young man said.

“It's too dangerous here. We have to get out of here quickly...” said a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

“Agreed…” said the young man.

“How do I get out of here? There are Russians everywhere…” another foreign soldier asked.

“When I came to help you guys. Saw one road with not many Russian soldiers. It should be enough to get through..." the young man replied.

“The idea makes sense…” the Polish volunteer foreign soldier agreed, but not before everyone had finished discussing it.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The wreckage of the building exploded, crushing them all. Each person scrambled to emerge from the pile of collapsing rubble. Some people were injured. Can't get up Until I had to have a friend come and help support me.

“Ahhhhh... Hahaha... Is everyone safe!?” asked a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

“Still safe...!” the other volunteer foreign soldiers replied.

“They even fired mortars (

Mortar)

Attacking us!?” One foreign soldier shouted.

“The Russians shouldn't have night vision goggles to see us. While we don't even have night vision goggles!” another foreign soldier volunteered shouted.

Humming.... The strange sound of propellers sounded above their heads.

“Drones!!!!!” the young boy shouted in warning.

“Unlucky! They use small spy drones to point out targets and give coordinates to the mortars!” Another foreign soldier, a volunteer, shouted.

“Don't gather together! Run and spread out! Pair up with 2 people to look after each other. Let's meet in our city!” A Polish volunteer foreign soldier ordered.

“Understood!” Everyone quickly complied.

Everyone ran away to save their lives. As the Russian soldiers' mortars shelled them, they followed close behind. A young boy pairs up and runs away with a Polish volunteer foreign soldier. The two of them kept running away.

Boom! Howitzer bullet falling near them The force of the explosion threw them both in different directions.

(Wink...wink...wink...wink...wink...wink...wink...) With a ringing in his ears, the young boy tried to collect himself and hurriedly got up. A Polish foreign soldier was seen lying nearby.

“Is something wrong with you!?” A young man ran in to check on his condition.

“It's okay...just fainted a little... Let's hurry and move on... Oops!” Polish foreign soldier volunteers try to get up but collapsed to the ground A young boy saw shrapnel from a mortar bullet lodged in the side of the stomach of a foreign soldier, a Polish volunteer, causing a deep, serious wound.

“Are you injured!? I'll hurry and dress your wound!” The young man used a knife to open the wound and take out the shrapnel from the mortar bullet that was lodged in it. Sprinkle the powder to stop bleeding. Use gauze to stop the bleeding and quickly wrap a bandage around it.

“You shouldn't waste your time doing this... Leave me here..." a Polish foreign soldier said because his wound was very serious. I probably can't continue. But the young man finished dressing his wounds.

“Nonsense! I won't let you die here!” The young man shouted.

“Leave me here... It will only serve as a hindrance to you...” a Polish volunteer foreign soldier pleaded.

"no ! No matter what, we must get out of here together!” the young man insisted, helping the Polish volunteer foreign soldiers to escape together, but the shouts of the Russian soldiers and the sound of gunfire followed closely behind them and approached. Closer and closer to them In the midst of the extremely stressful atmosphere, the second was the moment of death. A foreign soldier, a Polish volunteer, turned his eyes to the young man.

“Thank you very much…” the Polish foreign soldier thanked him and used all his strength to push the young man away.

“What the hell are you doing!?” the young man shouted.

“I will fight and delay them! You hurry and run away! This is the only chance that any one of us will survive! No need to turn back! Hurry and go!” said a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

"no ! Stop it!” The young man shouted to stop him, but he didn't have time.

Bang! Polish foreign soldiers volunteer shooting a gun into the sky Lure Russian soldiers to come to him. giving the young man a chance to escape Russian soldiers are flocking here. The young man had to turn and run away. Leaving another person to face his cruel fate alone again. The young boy kept running away... Some stories ran through his head.

“(You stupid bastard! Listen! This is the only chance any of us will survive...)”

“(Don't turn around! Hurry!...)” A voice resounded in his head.

"no ! I won't run away anymore!” The young man shouted to himself and ran back.

Meanwhile, Polish foreign soldiers volunteered. They were fighting with Russian soldiers with all their strength. But he was unable to fight because of his own injuries until he ran out of ammunition, leaving only 1 more pistol bullet. Plus, he was surrounded by Russian soldiers from every direction, with no way to escape.

“It's over…” He put the pistol at his own temple and closed his eyes. Prepare to take your own life to save yourself from suffering.

Bang! The sound of a gun rang out. A young boy fought his way through the encirclement to help him.

“Why did you come back!? Hurry and run away!” shouted a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

"no ! I won't leave anyone behind again! If we survive We must survive together! If we die Let's die together!” the young man shouted.

“You... be careful!” Bang! Polish foreign soldiers volunteer Use a pistol to kill a Russian soldier who came to shoot a young man and save his life.

“Can you still shoot a gun!?” the young man asked.

“Okay!” a Polish volunteer foreign soldier replied.

“I will hook you onto the grappling rope and drag you away! Please keep me safe from behind! It's already reloaded and ready to fire!” the young man said, handing over the gun.

“Understood!” A Polish volunteer foreign soldier responded.

“Ready!? 3...2...1... Go!!!!!” A young boy ran and dragged a foreign soldier, a Polish volunteer, fleeing for his life. while shooting and fighting while foreign soldiers were Polish volunteers. Give him back cover.

The sound of gunfire shook the whole night. In the midst of the dark night...

Photo of Ukrainian soldiers waving flags to welcome the two men.

The morning of a new day

After a long night of fighting had ended... The two of them supported each other's bodies and walked into the city together. With a battered condition

“Just a little more... Almost to the city... I told you so... That we must escape from here..." the young man said.

“Yes... You're right... You're right...” the Polish volunteer foreign soldier replied.

When the two arrived in their peaceful city, Everyone in the city stared at them with the same gaze. Other volunteer foreign soldiers saw the condition of the two men. So he ran in to help support the two bodies and carry them to the hospital and take them for treatment until they recovered. The two of them then sat outside the hospital.

“Last night we both survived... This is a miracle, a miracle, one in a million…” said a Polish foreign soldier volunteer.

“Yes... One in a million...” the young man replied.

“May I ask you something...?” asked a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

“Come on…” The young man waited to hear the question.

“Why did you go back and help me?” the Polish foreign soldier asked.

“The battlefield before that. I was with another team of volunteer foreign soldiers at the time. They were stuck in the middle of a circle of Russian soldiers. Everyone on the team was killed... My head trainer Sacrifice your own life to let me escape. Without me being able to do anything... This is why I have always chosen to fight alone.

Because I don't want to lose anyone again..." The young man replied, looking down at his own fist.

“Then why did you become a volunteer foreign soldier? Even though you yourself or your country are not involved in this war?” asked a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

“Over the years I have lived in normal society for many years. But I don't feel good about it. A society full of Distortion Slandering each other, insulting words, all sorts of bad words. Indifference from co-workers Rivalry and love and broken relationships...

Until I started to think “Normal society can be more cruel than a cruel war”... In the end, I chose to turn my back on that normal society. At least here... we still know what we're fighting for. Even though it was just a small smile, it had a meaning that couldn't be explained. Until it cannot be described in words.

The meaning that normal society will never understand... This is why I'm here... And you... Why did you become a volunteer foreign soldier?” the young man answered and asked back.

“Am I... I don't have any commitments anymore. My 2 children are adults and working... and my wife... Ugh... The two of us are divorced... But don't misunderstand... The two of us didn't divorce because of a rift. But we divorced because We both want to go back to our own lives. Just like when we were teenagers before we got married.

So the two of us divorced on good terms... Plus my sister is married to a Ukrainian and lives here together. I think something must be done to protect this country. This is why I became a volunteer foreign soldier... But you... after the war ended, did you have any family or anyone waiting for you to return home?”

a Polish volunteer foreign soldier asked. The young man was silent for a moment. Before sighing and replying...

“(Sigh..) My father passed away from cancer. My mother passed away a year ago and my older sister and brother are all married. Everyone has a family. Today I am no different from living alone.... I've been distant from the word "home" for a very long time... The young man replied sadly.

"I'm sorry..." A Polish volunteer foreign soldier apologized.

"nevermind... I'm used to it..." the young man replied.

“But do you really have no one to go back to?” a Polish volunteer foreign soldier asked.

“I think there probably isn't any…” the young man replied.

“What about the person you love?” asked a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

“There used to be... but... me and that girl. Have you ever had a misunderstanding? Until she got angry We refuse to talk to each other. Even though the two of us have already cleared our minds But the two of us don't talk much anymore..." the young man replied.

"Sorry I have to ask... What are you upset about? Why are you angry and refusing to talk to each other? Maybe I can help you talk to you about your problems..?” asked a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

"About the moccasins..." the young man replied.

“Hahahaha... angry at each other because of this matter!? Hahaha... Oh... I thought it was going to be a bigger deal than this... Hahaha..." Polish foreign soldier volunteers. To the point of not being able to hold back laughter

“At that time I didn't know... What do moccasins look like... So I asked her like that... It's because she went to work on her first day. So I asked if he was comfortable walking in moccasins... I'm just worried about you..." the young man replied.

“Hahaha... Women are like this. When I ask something, sometimes I get annoyed and don't speak or leave... But deep inside, you're still worried about her, right? It's been such a long time. that you didn't talk to her I think you should call her…” a Polish foreign soldier suggested.

“I don't know if you'll answer my phone or not?” The young man replied sadly.

“Hey... don't care. What will the results be like? I just want you to do it... Please know that you did your best... But you should let go of the past and open your mind to what is coming…” the Polish foreign soldier advised.

“(Sigh... )” The young man sighed.

“Help me with something?” asked a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

“Come on…” The young man answered the request.

“Take my word for it... You're going to call her...?” asked a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

“Of course…” the young man replied, although deep in his heart he was still unsure.

“Alright... I have to go back to my team first. You, too, should get some rest. Tomorrow starts a new day. We will go out and fight again...” said a Polish volunteer foreign soldier.

“Um…” The young man nodded. The foreign soldier, a Polish volunteer, got up and walked away.

“Hey! Wait a minute!” the young man shouted.

“Huh?” A Polish foreign soldier volunteered. Turn around

“My name... My name is Phum (

Poom)...”

A young boy introduces himself

“My name is Mikolaj (

Mikolaj)

Nice to meet you...Phum... See you tomorrow.” Polish foreign soldier volunteers Introduce yourself and walk away.

Later time...

The young boy went up to the roof of a building and dialed a phone number to call someone. The young man stood and calmed himself for a moment. Before pressing the phone button to call

"Toot...toot...toot..." The phone rang.

“Hello...Hello...” The voice on the other end of the line spoke. The young boy stood still and held his breath for a moment. before speaking out

“Hello...Pandan... It's me...."

"Phum?... Why did you call me so late at night...?"

“Sorry... I happen to be abroad. So I can only call during this time... But are you okay?”

“Fine... And you...?”

“I'm fine... It's been 2 years since we haven't talked... Glad to hear your voice again..."

“Yes... I'm happy too.”

“Let me ask you something.. ?”

“Come on...”

“Does she have a boyfriend yet?”

“What the hell are you asking!?”

"I'm sorry, I asked such a stupid question because I didn't know if the two of us would have a chance to talk again..."

“A story about the two of us. They can't go together..."

“(Sigh..) I know... I know... but I just want to let you know. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you... Every day, every hour, every minute, I still think of you. All the time I hope that the two of us will have a chance to meet each other again... I've rehearsed my statement to you a thousand times.

In case the two of us have a chance to meet each other. There are hundreds of stories that I want to talk to you about and tell you the feelings I have inside, but... I've forgotten them all... Even though it sounds vague But even if I die, I only have you..." The young man expressed all his feelings.

“Um... I know... But you are in Ukraine, right?”

“Ah...yes... How do you know?”

“Ugh! I'm good at it... But what is it like there?”

“This place?... War, gunfire, ruins. The loss is too difficult to describe. Everything looks so cruel... But there were good things that happened amidst the brutal war... Even if it's just a small good story... It's different from the normal society I used to live in.

It seems like everything looks normal and happy. But it's full of Slanderous words, insulting words, all sorts of bad words. Indifference from those around you rivalry The hatred between each other and all the distortions that occur in normal society. Until I started to question whether “normal society might be more cruel than a cruel war” or not?... Until now

I'm still questioning it. But it's not important anymore... I will continue to walk towards the answer with the little things I have...”

“What is it?”

“Smile, hey...”

“Smile?”

“It may sound meaningless. But here it has a lot of meaning..."

“Um... So... Then I hope that you can get through each day with a smile... Please go to bed first... It's already very late..."

“Alright... sweet dreams...”

“Phum... I hope you come home safely...”

“Already there…”

“Let's go first…”

"bye..."

"bye..."

“Toot…” The conversation ended.

The next morning

Volunteer foreign soldiers loaded up trucks and prepared to depart.

“Does this car still have seats?” the young man asked. Mikolaj smiled and turned to answer the young man.

“Yes, but you have to squeeze together,” Mikolaj jokingly replied.

“Hahahaha!!!” Everyone in the Mikolaj team They all laughed. while patting the young man's shoulder Welcoming new members to the team

When everyone has loaded their luggage and gotten into the truck. Mikolaj ordered the driver to drive the truck and leave.

“Let's go!” Mikolaj ordered. The wheeled truck set off.

The truck moved slowly out of the city. Along the way, the boy looked at the bright sky scenery. with the soft sunlight shining down on his face With a smile and encouragement to move forward...

At the international airport Suvarnabhumi Airport

After the Ukraine-Russia war ended The young man had returned to Thailand and was walking out to the passenger waiting area. He looked around and saw many people waiting to welcome their loved ones back from their travels. But there was no one waiting to welcome him. A young man walked out of the airport and hailed a taxi.

While the young man was riding in a taxi He looked out the car window. I saw the state of the country that had changed a lot...

A taxi came to drop off the young man. Parked in front of a house. The young man stood looking at the house. along with pictures of past memories The house he hadn't returned to in a long time...

“(It's been almost 2-3 years already...)” The young man said to himself.

The young man gathered his courage and walked into that house. And ready to start again...

The young man hurriedly ran up the stairs to the subway station. Then he stopped in front of the girl who was waiting for him.

“Hahahaha... Am I late!?... Hahaha...” the young man asked, breathing heavily. in front of the girl

"It's not too late..." the young woman replied.

“Very good...then let's go,” said the young man, and the two of them walked together.

The two of them walked until they stopped in front of a bookstore that was selling magazines.

TIME

The cover of the magazine showed photos of foreign soldiers volunteering to help defend Ukraine. One of them even has himself standing in the photo. The young man stood staring at the magazine. Stay for a while...

“Are you going to buy that magazine? I saw you looking at it for a long time?” the woman asked.

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... Unfortunately, I'm not that much of a snob... Hahahaha..." The young boy pretended to laugh to cover it up and accidentally held the girl's hand out of nervousness. The young woman was secretly shy. But he didn't say anything. The two of them walked hand in hand. Walking together among many people...

The background music sounded louder.

“(Hey, sir, can I hold your hand?)”

“(What should we eat for dinner today?)”

“(Are you free? Do you have anything to tell me?)”

“(I always want to tell you everything I've encountered. You can go every day)”

“(Only you are enough. I don't want to add any more)”

“(Before the end of the night Smile at each other again)”

“(Say good night and go to sleep together)”
