Ukraine is going through its worst moment since the first months of the conflict, and its troops are struggling to cope with continuous attacks along the entire 1,000-kilometer front.
According to The New York Times, exhausted and fatigued frontline troops are finding support in a variety of highly caffeinated energy drinks, some of which are specially made for this conflict.
Sales of energy companies are growing. These drinks have become one of the few bright spots in the Ukrainian economy. New varieties with crazy flavors are constantly appearing - cotton candy, cactus and even hemp.
Jars can be seen everywhere. Ukrainian companies advertise these drinks, purposefully targeting the military. So, for example, they write patriotic slogans on cans.
