In the intense battlegrounds of the Svitlodarska arc, Zaytseve settlement, Donetsk region, Ukraine, Ukrainian soldiers found a unique way to inject humor into the gravity of their situation. On December 12, 2019, a video captured by @dashcinskiy_r_v showcased soldiers raising a stick adorned with a hand displaying a defiant middle finger, set against the backdrop of gunfire. The incident unfolded during a crucial moment for the brigade at Tango 5 positions, between December 8-15. As recounted by @dashcinskiy_r_v, the impromptu creation of the gesture stemmed from a frosty morning, where the soldiers, stationed just 100 meters from the firing line, crafted a frozen hand shape from a forgotten glove. The light-hearted moment unfolded amidst positional fire with the enemy.
