"Didn't know how to start". How a 21-year-old repairs tanks and other machinery / hromadske
"At first it was difficult to repair the tanks. When they said: "You're going to make a tank!" And you come and look at it, you don't know how to approach it. A million tubes and wires. I twisted it two or three times, and it gradually starts to come out," says 21-year-old Oleh.
He comes from Lyman, in Donetsk region. Oleh was 18 when he received the summons. Without thinking, the boy went to military service, and from there he switched to a contract. For two years now, he has been repairing military equipment in the 59th Yakov Handziuk Motorized Infantry Brigade.
From dawn to the first dusk, the guy works practically without days off. Sometimes going on a short vacation to the Vinnytsia region to his girlfriend, with whom they have been together for 5 years.
"From school, I am the only one serving, the others have all left. Even those whom I did not think would leave (to Russia — ed.) fled at night together with the Russians. Everyone around is walking, going about their lives, but you are here. You meet a girl, but you see her no more than 30 days a year. You won't be able to build a family that way," says Oleh.
There are many professions in the Armed Forces that often remain in the shadows, but that does not make them any less significant. We spent the day with the 59th brigade remrota to show how the guys work.
