"It is psychologically very difficult for a soldier to be in the rear, because when you are in the rear for too long, it is not clear whether you are a civilian or a soldier, what to do in general. That is why military personnel very often walk around on vacation in their uniform - in order to separate themselves psychologically, to understand: this is the world, I am passing through it, I am here for a short time, I will return soon; in order not to get used to civilian life, so that it would be easier to return to the trenches after vacation," says Andrii Kobalia, a serviceman of the 109th TrO.
Now he is in Kyiv, on training, and in a few days he will return to the Avdiivka region, where he will work with attack drones.
Andriy has been fighting since the beginning of the invasion. He joined the Kyiv National Guard on February 24, 2022. When the North was freed, he went to Kharkiv region and Donetsk region, where he served in the infantry, and later he became interested in drones and transferred to the UAVs unit.
