This footage, provided by a Ukrainian soldier from the Burivey Brigade, shows him operating a 120-millimeter mortar from a concealed position in the forests of Kreminna. He enjoys an energy drink while showing how easy it is to move the roof of his position aside and send a round downrange.

There's almost a sort of "Welcome to my crib" vibe going on here. This guy looks undeniably chill as he goes about his business, giving a casual thumbs up as he ruins some distant Russian's day. It's unclear whether the attitude comes from complacency, fatigue, or apathy, but it's safe to say we've all been there.
