Mykhaylo and Mykola, two Ukrainian soldiers, have made their share of dangerous trips to Chasiv Yar.

For over a year, Russian and Ukrainian forces have been battling for control of the strategically important hilltop city in the Donetsk region. Whole neighborhoods have been leveled in the fighting.

The two servicemen are among the drivers charged with carrying wounded forces to safety away from the front lines.

We had the goal of going in, transporting some men there and picking up others, and doing it as fast as we could, Mykhaylo told RFE/RLs Ukrainian Service.
