Fighting is not a retreat w.ukraińska - Pavlo Belyanskyi [KSIĄŻKA]

A Ukrainian language teacher from Kryvyi Rih, a window installer from Dnipro, a gangster from Kherson, a grain truck driver from a small Poltava village, a coffee shop owner on the shores of the Kakhovka Reservoir, a writer from Kyiv, a welder from a steel mill, a car mechanic, a former student - none of them planned to become a military man. But the great invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops began, and they all took up arms to defend their country. Now they are fighters of a separate assault battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Together with the heroes, you will go from the formation of the unit to battles with the enemy. The first assaults, liberated villages and their inhabitants, harsh trench life, injuries and deaths of comrades, disappointments and losses, fragile military happiness, the end of the past life and the beginning of a new one. The book is autobiographical and honest, like all of Belyansky's prose. It will be funny, it will be scary, someone may find it uncomfortable and too frank, but it will hardly leave anyone indifferent.
