So it just feels like it's going to go on forever. And from the Ukrainian side's perspective, those guys talk to me about how when they hear radio intercepts of Russian soldiers marching to the same frontline spot is that basically they're marching into certain death at certain locations. And based on the radio transmissions,

They know they're going to die, but they head forth anyway, straight forward into a Ukrainian position, which is just wild to me. I guess World War II, they just keep throwing troops at it. And you see a ton of footage they take themselves. It's just mind-blowing.

Obviously, some of this footage doesn't make it to the internet because it's got important sort of details in those conflicts, but they're showing first-person perspectives of trench warfare. It's just crazy to see what some of these guys have gone through.

What was your sense of the place? Curzon was like, it was just so destroyed. I think at this point, most of the civilians are gone. I saw a lot of just elderly people left behind, especially a lot of old men. And I just think they're just like, hey, I've lived here my whole life. I'm just never leaving. So no matter the level of danger, those guys just remain.

And then for the, it's largely just, I guess, military in Curzon. But that place felt very, very dangerous. I didn't realize until we got there just quite how destroyed it is.

Just seeing war head on. How did it change me? I guess just realizing a lot of these soldiers are just like, you kind of distance yourself from them thinking that they're something separate. But really speaking to a lot of the Ukrainian soldiers, like my friend Roman, he hadn't lived in Ukraine for eight years. He lived in France. He had a life. He's got a wife over there. He's got a daughter.

He basically volunteered to come back to protect his mom and brother who still lived there. I used to view them military guys because in Australia and I guess in the US, they don't have this conscription ongoing right now. Whereas obviously there's guys like Roman who volunteered. But then there's a lot of Ukrainian soldiers that were conscripted into the war.
