A territorial defence unit made up of volunteers - including teachers, plumbers and builders - have been fortifying the edges of the Volynska region as they face the threat of another Russian invasion from the north.
Just across the road from Oksana lives Nadia Andreveya and her daughter Svitlana. Nadia is 75 and has been living in the border village her entire life.
"I'm not leaving and I don't want to leave and flee from my land. Where to? I am 75 and those beasts want to force us to leave our land," she says.Her daughter has deep concerns after seeing the atrocities committed in other parts of Ukraine. "After Bucha - after what those monsters have done there, I thought a number of times that it would be better if a missile hit me here than to experience what they do to Ukrainian people," says Svitlana.A little way down the road cutting through their village is a lake that sprawls across the border. On one side, the last Ukrainian outpost. On the other, a green Belarusian watch tower.
Russia invaded Ukraine from the Belarusian border back in February and top Ukrainian defence officials have been sounding the alarm on another incursion from the north.Explosions can be heard from Captain Sydorchuk's hill fortress.The blasts are coming from a spot a few kilometres down the road. They are part of a simulation exercise that the 100th Brigade is conducting daily in preparation for a potential new front on their doorstep.
A tank is parked up in a valley facing the bottom of a hill. Behind it, fashioned to a white pick-up truck, is a 50 calibre anti-aircraft gun manned by two soldiers in winter camouflage. In front of the tank, soldiers carrying Kalashnikovs weave through pyrotechnics."We are ready to meet them."
