"It won't be quick here" – that's how the soldiers of the 37th Marine Brigade describe the situation to us. This is a newly created brigade, which was prepared specifically for the counteroffensive. 5 months of training in Ukraine. A month abroad. "Those 5 months of training are like 5 assaults," say the Marines who took part in their first battles in the south of Donetsk. They had 5 battles, and each one was "more and more serious", as the stormtroopers themselves explain. In the first battles, young platoon commanders had to take command of companies because the company commanders were wounded.

On how these battles went, how the Western equipment that the partners gave to Ukraine for this counteroffensive showed itself, and why it is so difficult to advance — exclusively in the report of Nastya Stanko and Kolyan Pastyk.
