From the first minute of Russia’s large-scale aggression against Ukraine, Yevhen Titarenko began to record everything that surrounded him: his own feelings when the first rockets began to bomb his city, tens of thousands of refugees in a hurry to leave their homes, and the friends with whom he went to war. As volunteers in the first aid battalion on the front line, they provided life-saving support and evacuation of the injured. Captured on video recorders and mobile phones, Eastern Front reveals the experiences of these young men over six months full of drama, despair, fear, hatred, bitterness, love, and, most importantly, faith in victory.
