From the romance of 2022 to the 'war of machines': how the nature of the conflict changed in the eyes of Seraphim Gordienko

🇺🇦 AFU serviceman Seraphim Gordienko told how the nature of the war changed: from youthful maximalism in 2022 to the cold 'war of machines' after 2023. 🔹 At 19, he went to the front thanks to 'heroic upbringing' and received a personal order from Valerii Zaluzhnyi to bypass the age limit. 🔹 The romance of war ended after the Zaporizhzhia counteroffensive: now it is a systematic conflict where drones and infantry are inseparable. 🔹 Gordienko: 'We were afraid of not making it to the war, but now we understand: this is a long job of military machines.' #Ukraine #AFU #SeraphimGordienko #War #MetaRomanticism
