Ukrainian soldiers are burned out and worried they'll run out of troops in the war with Russia.
"When will this fucking war end?" one soldier told The Kyiv Independent. "How many more friends killed do I need?"
Many Ukrainian infantrymen also describe war as a "meat grinder for both sides," the report said.

Ukrainian soldiers are getting increasingly burned out and worried that they will run out of troops as the brutal war with Russia enters its 21st month.
