我还活着，战争依旧。

两天前，我和我的战友影子（绰号影子，3月9日的日记里面提到过——译者注）去了一个被俄罗斯坦克包围的小树林里。

在现场，两名乌克兰士兵从一个凄凉的、泥泞不堪的战壕里出来微笑着迎接我们，他们中的一个甚至会说一点法语。我告诉影子尽量待在战壕里，尽管这看起来很无聊。

那两个乌克兰士兵到战壕外面抽烟，我建议他们熄掉烟并回到掩体里去，同时，我则寻找俄军坦克的位置。他们没有听从我的建议，甚至还大着胆子向森林的边缘靠近，并试图向我指出俄军坦克的位置。我再次要求他们立即回到掩体里面，不要再这样暴露自己，这一次他们高兴地听了我的建议，回来在战壕旁边抽烟。他们都不想进入泥泞不堪的战壕。

我让他们把烟掐了，回到掩体里去，而我则寻找俄国坦克的位置。他们不听，甚至冒险靠近森林的边缘，试图向我展示俄罗斯坦克的位置。我告诉他们立即回来躲避，不要再这样暴露自己。他们高兴地听了我的话，回来在战壕旁边抽烟，他们不想进战壕。

作为一名士兵，直觉告诉我我们必须要移动位置，因为这两个粗心的士兵很有可能已经被敌军坦克的热成像设备发现了。20秒后，我离这些士兵只有15米，我用望远镜继续观察周围，这时，巨大的爆炸震撼了我，弹片从我身边掠过，像篝火的余烬。我被硝烟笼罩，身体本能地紧绷起来，脸也一样，一只耳朵听不到任何声音。

我从掩体里爬进壕沟，试图找到敌军坦克。我看向我的左边，发现那两个乌克兰士兵躺在地上——这一幕与好莱坞战争电影中的场景一模一样——一名士兵离我五米远，他躺在地上，已经失去了腿，身体的其他部分也被撕成碎片，他已经没有动静了。

另一名士兵离我有三米远，身体被撕碎成好几块。当时他还有呼吸，但大约10秒钟后，就在我面前咽下最后一口气。而俄军的坦克还在继续向我们的方向开火。

故事并没有就此结束，但我将在下一次告诉你。

回到基地后，我的朋友影子不敢相信他还活着，甚至都没有受伤，尽管爆炸将他掀翻在地。我也没有受任何受，连一丝擦伤也没有。今天，我的耳朵也已经恢复得差不多了，我可以正常地听到声音了。

步兵的作战准则和规则训练都非常重要，我们在这里看到了一个活生生的例子。

我只告诉你们本周事件中的一件，我们给敌人造成了伤亡，但我们也失去了许多战友。

这就是战争，以及战争的真面目。

荣耀属于乌克兰!

原文：

I'm alive. Here is war.

Two days ago, me and my comrade Shadow went to a position surrounded by Russian tanks, in a small forest.

On the spot, two Ukrainian soldiers greeted us with a smile, from a miserable and muddy little trench. One of the soldiers even spoke a little French. I told Shadow to stay in the trench, even though it looked boring.

The two Ukrainian soldiers came out of the trench to smoke. I told them to put out their cigarettes and go back to cover while I looked for the position of the Russian tanks. They didn't listen and even ventured close to the edge of the forest, trying to show me the location of Russian tanks. I told them to come back immediately to take shelter and not to expose themselves like this again. They happily listened to me and came back to smoke next to the trench. They didn't want to go into the trench.

My reflex as a soldier was to move anyway because it was possible that the two careless soldiers had been detected by the thermal vision equipment of the enemy tanks. Twenty seconds later, I was fifteen meters from the soldiers. I watched with my binoculars. A huge explosion shook me. Shrapnel streaked past me, like embers from a campfire. I was enveloped in smoke. My body instinctively tensed, as well as my face. I couldn't hear anything out of one ear.
I moved from cover to crawl into the trench and try to find the enemy tanks. I looked to my left. The two Ukrainian soldiers were lying on the ground. The scene was exactly like in a Hollywood war movie. A soldier was five meters from me. He was lying down and had no legs. The rest of the body was partly shredded. He was no longer moving.

Another soldier was three meters away from me. He had a torn leg. His body was mutilated in several places. He was still breathing but breathed his last in front of me, about ten seconds later. The Russian tanks continued to fire in our direction.

The story did not end there but I will tell you another time.

Back at the base, my friend Shadow couldn't believe his life was saved. He had no injuries. The explosion knocked him to the ground. I didn't have any injuries either. Not a single scratch. Today, my ear is doing great and I can hear normally.

Infantry procedures and drills are important. Here we see a striking example.
I tell you only one of the events of the week. We have inflicted casualties on the enemy but we have lost many comrades.

Here is war. The truth.

Glory to Ukraine!
