An artilleryman of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade of Ukrainian Armed Forces prepares to fire a French-made Caesar self-propelled howitzer toward Russian positions at an undisclosed location in the Donetsk Region on January 6, 2025, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On the front line, French-trained men of the 155th Anne de Kiev Brigade, fighting two enemies: the Russians and the scandals eating away at their unit. Named after a Kiev princess who became Queen of France in the Middle Ages, and launched with great fanfare by President Emmanuel Macron, the brigade was supposed to be a showcase for the military partnership between Ukraine and France.
