A British volunteer soldier, Akula, recounts the harrowing realities of his experience on the front line during the Russian invasion. Describing his ordeal as "scary, cold, hungry, and lonely," he shares a glimpse into the trauma he endured.
Akula's journey began at the start of the conflict, and over time, it has taken a devastating toll on his mental health. The young soldier opened up to CNN's David McKenzie about his experiences in a candid conversation.
According to Akula, life as a frontline volunteer was anything but easy. He faced extreme temperatures, scarcity of food and water, and feelings of isolation that threatened his well-being. Despite the challenges, Akula remained committed to supporting Ukraine during this tumultuous period.
His account sheds light on the human cost of war and highlights the psychological strain it can inflict on those who find themselves in the midst of conflict.
