Ukraine has been the subject of a simmering conflict which continues to pose a threat to the security of not only the country itself but the entire region. The conflict intensified as Russian militants made a bold yet aggressive move to take control of the eastern regions of Ukraine. Such aggression by the Russians resulted in intense shellings and invasions which affected numerous towns and villages throughout Ukraine. Despite the fact that the Ukrainian army repelled the attackers, the war-torn region is still in need of immediate attention and assistance in the form of peacekeeping operations.
To this effect, the Ukrainian army is now tasked with fighting to regain control of the separatist-controlled regions. This requires a much greater effort in the form of technical and professional assistance which the Ukrainian army admits has been a lack of. One of the biggest problems confronting the army is the lack of resources, mainly in the form of heavy duty military equipment needed to fight a fight against the militants occupying the region.
To combat the lack of equipment, the Ukrainian troops have resorted to unorthodox tactics, including the digging of large trenches and fortifications in the area. This has given them an opportunity to bring in more military resources, including tanks, for close combat. But this strategy has also come at a cost, as there have been numerous reports of Ukrainian troops being targeted in their own trenches by militants with Russian-made land mines.
The dangers in this situation are further compounded by the presence of armed separatists in the area. There have been numerous reports of separatists using landmines to target Ukrainian troops who have advanced into the region. This creates a situation in which the Ukrainian troops are constantly in danger, demonsrating the danger of the situation.
Overall, this shows the difficult and dangerous situation faced by the Ukrainian troops and how they are adopting unconventional tactics in the face of the increased military threat posed by Russian troops and separatist militants in the area. The Ukrainian troops are in need of international support in the form of armaments, protection and technological assistance in order to fight for the people of Ukraine and to secure the country’s future.
