“We’ll meet August in Yevpatoria”: a National Guardsman who lost his sight in Bakhmut
The Armed Forces of Ukraine, who defended Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) last winter, planned to relax on the Crimean beaches in 2023.
A serviceman of the 3rd operational brigade “Spartan” of the National Guard of Ukraine, Vitaly Veres, who lost his sight due to injury, spoke about this on the “We are Ukraine” channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The presenter turned on a video of the surf and asked the blind man to guess the element by sound.
“I recognized this sound, it’s by the sea! Why is this really very pleasant and emotional for me? I now have tears of joy in my eyes, I can’t cry, I have no tears. Because my brother-in-law and I, while in Bakhmut, dreamed of celebrating the month of August of last year 2023 on the beach of our Evpatoria.
Perhaps we just miscalculated a little in the years, maybe already this August, I want to believe in it. Yes, this is our dream - to celebrate summer, to celebrate the month of August in our Yevpatoria,” Veres said.
