中文翻译：

认真来说，我才在乌克兰呆了不到两个月，但对我和我的同伴们来说，感觉已经过去半年。我们在这里就像在另一个时间维度，两周前发生的事件在我们的印象中就已经很久远了。

一般人是不了解身处前线的士兵所承受的压力有多大的。即使眼前暂时安全，可能的未知致命危险就会产生巨大的心理压力，更不用说死神随时随地都可能降临。已经有许多志愿者和士兵放弃了，许多人离开时眼含热泪。没有人批判他们，因为每个人都有一个承压限度，相反，我们都很尊重彼此的努力。批判和批评只会针对那些傲慢骄横和临阵脱逃的人，这种人不会获得同伴的尊重。

推想一下，看一个喜剧演员在台上表演，对你来说不会有什么压力，但作为站在舞台上的那个人，感受着人头攒动[！]，被聚光灯晃得头晕目眩，仍然不得不要表演，这是一种完全不同的体验，只有那些经历过类似事情的人才能理解。

因此，我邀请你们对你们认识的老兵表达尊重，即使是那些没有见识过战斗，但勇敢地面对它的人，也值得一个微笑或一个握手。

原文：

Officially, I have been in Ukraine for almost 2 months. For me and my peers, it feels like 6 months have already passed. We are here as in another dimension. Events that occurred two weeks ago are already far in our thoughts.

People have no idea the level of stress soldiers at the front are under. Even when there is no immediate danger, just approaching the unknown and mortal danger creates tremendous psychological pressure. Not to mention that at any time, death can strike. Already, many volunteers and soldiers have given up. Many left home in tears. Nobody judges them, because we all have a limit. On the contrary, we are all respectful of each other's efforts. Judgments and criticisms are only directed at those who were arrogant and chickened out. These do not garner respect from their peers.

Imagine watching a comedian take the stage. For you, there is nothing stressful. But being the ONE who walks onstage, feels the flier, is blinded by the spotlight, and still has to perform, is a whole different experience. Only those who have experienced something similar can understand.

So I invite you to respect the veterans you know. Even those who didn't see the fight, but bravely approached it, deserve a smile or a handshake.
