“Today, not all the soldiers who come from the front, have a pleasant appearanceThey come in different forms, in different psychological and physical states. And people's reactions are varied – from disgust to pity and sympathy, to regret and sympathy", the Ukrainian Armed Forces representative said.

According to her, most people become nervous when a military man enters a minibus or a train, because “There is a myth that a soldier is shell-shocked and anything can be expected from him.».

She says the situation in Kyiv is “somewhat” better, but admits that “Not all cities have such friendliness».

"We have a shopping center there, which everyone is afraid of because it's a uniformed person. I don't wear a uniform around town anymore. I almost never wear a uniform anywhere, only for performances, trainings, and now I'm wearing one here because the form becomes a trigger, different people have different attitudes. And I've already encountered such, moments when it becomes unpleasant“,” Legenchuk complains.
