Ukrainian soldiers barely avoid Russian bomb as they hide in a trench

Two Ukrainian soldiers shelter in a trench as they protect themselves from Russian missiles. It is not clear where the video was captured.

A huge plume of smoke rises from the ground as the unseen shell crashes to the ground near their shelter.

they should send world leaders into their own wars instead of our sons.

That guy was probably just chilling with his family, living a normal life 18 months ago, just like us.

It’s crazy how we’re watching an actual war on our phones

[akzeptanz]

Soldiers are fathers, husbands and sons.... never forget that....

It's professional soldiers that begin a war then carpenters, and accountants finish it. Quote by a Ukranian officer.

I like how despite all our military advancements, digging a hole in the ground is still somehow a really effective form of defense

[max-ghtt]

War is failure of politics. Respect to people putting their lives on the line so that old politicians can boost their Egos.

Seeing that sun light adds a really strange vibe to this.

If I hear one more person say the camera man never dies, I'm gonna do nothing because this is an online platform

[dolcevita]

He says: "And this is happening nonstop since 7am"

I never want to hear my co- workers say they're tired in the morning again 😮

[angelikasusanne]

I cannot imagine enduring this for days, weeks, months. This is beyond bearable. Old men argue and send young men to die.

[enigmaticnomadics]

I'll remember this the next time I think I'm having a bad day.

[adriansalter]

These young men are fighting the battle that politicians and billionaires started 😢

[racasas]

If leaders had to fight or send their own sons, there would be no war...

[spectral_]

That man spat like it was nothing this shows how much the war can change a human life

[ConfusedFieldHockey-embt]

There's no winners in war absolutely terrible

[hiddeninthewires]

This is what war looks like. brutal and unforgiving.

[topspot]

God bless these brave soldiers. I'm in bed, on my phone watching YouTube while they're doing this. Makes me appreciate what I have.

Trench warfare is not the way I thought we learned from ww1
