Rhys Byrne, a 28-year-old from Dublin, has fought for a number of units in Ukraine, including the 59th brigade in the Ukrainian territorial army where he operated a heavy machine gun
He says the battle to reclaim territory has been horrific."On 'zero line' it's horror. It's horror. There is just a genocide. It's slaughter.
He says:"We were told there [was] a Russian trench line and our job is to go into the trenches and clear them out and hold them until the auxiliary units come and then we go back." Suddenly, it fired a shell into the middle of their position. Those who survived took cover in the woods.
