On the front line, soldiers of the 108th Brigade learn face camouflage to stay hidden.

Dark paint covers the forehead, nose, ears, and chin, while lighter shades are used under the eyes and around the nose. Palms are painted only when used for silent hand signals.

Serhii Vlasenko is a Kyiv rescuer. On his last shift, a Russian drone hit his building. His wife, two children, and mother made it to the shelter.

He was across the city, saving others. He returned to ashes. The room where his children slept, gone.
