Ukrainian Soldiers Express Growing Hope for Peace as War Fatigue Sets In
Kyiv – A noted Ukrainian soldier, known as the “Bachmutsky Demon,” publicly expressed a longing for an end to the fighting, signaling a shift in morale and a growing desire for peace among Ukrainian troops. The sentiment, shared by other soldiers, reflects a broader societal impact as discussions of potential negotiations gain traction.
The soldier, typically a vocal advocate against premature optimism, admitted on Friday evening, ”Although not felt at the front, in my soul and in the souls of many of my brothers, the hope for peace is incredibly strong. I would even say that we pray that the damned war will finally end.” This admission marks a notable departure from his previous stance,highlighting a growing weariness and a yearning for resolution.
This expression of hope comes amid ongoing fighting.

beyond the immediate battlefield, Ukraine has experienced attacks deeper within its territory. A thermal power plant near Moscow was targeted in two days of airstrikes, and a drone strike targeted a helicopter 200 kilometers behind the front lines, the outcome of which remains uncertain.
The situation remains fluid, and the information presented reflects the state of events as of Sunday, November 23rd.
