Oksana "Mama" Shakhray rests in her room in a military hospital in Bakhmut, in the Donetsk area of Ukraine, before leaving to her hometown Odessa on leave. The military commandment forced Oksana to take a break as she spent more than 3 months at the war zone which is too much. Oksana is a paramedic at the medical unit of Ukraine's National Guard. She joined the army voluntary because she knew that her 27-year old son might be mobilized and she wanted to be there for him if something were to happen to him. Oksana believes that besides medical help soldiers also need psychological help from people "from there," from a same conflict zone to understand them better and to whom they could trust. There are no military psychologists with soldiers in the war zone on a regular basis. Military psychologists come to the front line periodically to check the situation in the units, but they are based in military bases outside the war zone.
