Shivering in Ukr. like it's WW1

Here’s a look at the cold and dirty reality of the Russia-Ukraine War.
In a scene out of “All Quiet on the Western Front,” shocking video on social media Saturday shows at least four Ukrainian soldiers stationed in muddied trenches, braving brutally cold elements as they await the invading enemy.
Two of the four stand in makeshift living quarters created with debris overlapping a portion of the trenched area, as rifles and empty water bottles lay in the muddied waters nearby. Other areas are covered with patches of snow.
One of the soldiers lies flat on a board to protect himself from the cold mud as another is heard coughing nearby.
It’s unclear from the 20second video posted by Ukraine’s Operational Armed Forces who these men are or when the video took place, but many comments wished them well.
“Stay strong, stay vigilant. Victory will be so much sweeter,” read one reply on Twitter.
“I am sorry you warriors have to put up with this,” said another. “Just glad you all seem to have better clothing than some [Russian] pics I’ve seen.”
