Ukrainian troops confront escalating challenges amid depleting resources during Russian war
#ukraine #russia #putin
Reuters reporters recently spent two weeks near the 1000-km frontline in Donetsk region, speaking to more than 20 Ukrainian soldiers and commanders in infantry, drone and artillery units fighting invading Russian troops.
Their downbeat description of the war in Ukraine, which is about to enter its third year, reflects a broader acceptance in Kyiv and among its allies that depleted ranks and insufficient arms and ammunition have handed Russia the advantage.
While still motivated by what they see as a choice between fighting or the horrors of occupation, the soldiers spoke of the challenges of holding off a larger and better supplied enemy as military support from the West slows.
The level of attrition underlines the cost to Ukraine of defending its territory, even if the frontlines have largely stagnated in the last 14 months.
"We have a big problem with manpower, we simply lack men," said a commander in the 59th Brigade who goes by his call sign "Limousine". "We need big reinforcements, many people here are tired."
Unseasonably warm weather in the east of Ukraine has turned frozen soil into thick mud, while the changing temperatures are taking their toll on soldiers' health.
"The weather is rain, snow, rain, snow. As a result, people get ill with simple flu or angina. They're out of action for some time, and there is nobody to replace them."
A new law aimed at mobilising 450-500,000 more Ukrainians is currently going through parliament, but for some soldiers fighting now, significant reinforcements seem a distant hope.
A soldier serving in a GRAD missile unit, whose call sign is "Scorpion", said that his multiple rocket launcher, which uses a Soviet-designed munition rarely found in Western inventories, was now operating at about 30% of maximum capacity.
Kyiv has overseen a boom in private drone production and innovation and is developing more advanced, long-range UAVs that can strike deep into Russia territory, while Moscow has more than matched the initiative with huge investments of its own.
"Even to dig out an (infantry) position is now a problem," company commander Limousine explained. "Our guys start to do something, a drone sees them, and a second drone arrives to drop something onto them."
"Recently we were trying to destroy a dugout, to destroy a place from which they were firing," recalled drone pilot "Leleka", who serves in the elite 92nd Brigade. Before the full-scale invasion, the 36-year-old ran a taxi service in the eastern city of Kharkiv.
"There was a queue of drones to destroy this firing point ... there were two or three (waiting)."
Still, UAVs have forced the Russians to move valuable vehicles and weapons systems back by several kilometres, two drone pilots in different units said.
"After we got good drones, in two or three months it's now very hard to find vehicles to hit," said callsign "Nato", a pilot in the 24th brigade.
Darwin, a 20-year-old drone pilot, talked with imagination about the potential future of the drone war in Ukraine's skies.
“In future, I am sure there will be an analogous situation with drones: The concentration and effectiveness of electronic warfare will become so big that any connection between an aerial vehicle and its pilot will become impossible.”
In his first statement since taking over as leader of Ukraine's armed forces this month, Oleksandr Syrskyi cited the need for technological innovation as well as emphasising the importance of strong logistics and operational command.

Ukraine digs in after retreat from 'hell' of Avdiivka but vows to punish Russian advance
#avdiivka #ukraine
Ukraine’s military said on Monday (February 19) its troops are taking up new defensive positions in the east – and repelling Russian attempts to develop an offensive thrust.
The move comes after their retreat from the town of Avdiivka which is now under Russian control.
Vice Commander Rodion Kudriashov of one of Ukraine's most prominent fighting units, the Third Assault Brigade, said that the withdrawal from the battered industrial town didn't mean Ukraine had lost the war.
His brigade had been rushed to Avdiivka to reinforce Kyiv's troops there 12 days before the withdrawal. Comprised of assault infantry, the brigade had said earlier the situation in Avdiivka was "hell."
The brigade took part in a counteroffensive in eastern Ukraine last summer and fought in the battle of Bakhmut, another town in eastern Ukraine that held out for many months before being captured last May.
On Sunday (February 18), Russia said it had taken control of the Ukrainian town of Avdiivka, its biggest gain since the fall of Bakhmut in May. That Russian success came as U.S. lawmakers continued to wrangle over a military aid package for Kyiv.

A video of Lolita Bogdanova, 24, flashing her chest at the historic site has surfaced amid the mad dictator's apparent crackdown on debauchery.
The footage was uploaded in 2021, before the war with Ukraine, but reports say Lolita - aka Lola Bunny - was today put on the Kremlin’s international wanted list.

Hero vets save mother elephant's life with CPR and rescues baby from drain
#Elephantrescue #thesun #Thailand
DRAMATIC moment hero vets save mother elephant's life with CPR and rescues baby from drain in Thailand.
The animal and her baby slipped into the 7ft deep hole during a storm which made the grass muddy and wet in Nakhon Nayok province, Thailand on July 13.
Vets were struggling to free the pair because of the torrential monsoon rainy season conditions. The distressed mother was also standing over her child to try and protect him.
Wildlife volunteers tranquilised the 10-year-old mother but she hit her head on the edge of the concrete structure - knocking her unconscious.
Worried vets immediately revived the jumbo when she was pulled out of the hole with a cherry picker crane. Dramatic footage shows three vets using their weight to put pressure on the animal's chest to wake her up.
The one-year-old calf was rescued shortly after. It took the team more than three hours to finish the operation.

Moment landslide buries goldmine in east Turkey leaving 9 missing
#turkey #thesun #landslide
Dramatic dashcam footage on Tuesday (February 13) showed vehicles reversing to escape a landslide near a gold mine in eastern Turkey, as mounds of earth slipped down a hill and across a road.
Rescue workers battled to find nine workers trapped under earth after a landslide at a gold mine in eastern Turkey on Wednesday (February 14), the interior minister said, while state media said four people were detained as an investigation got underway.
The landslide occurred on Tuesday afternoon in the Ilic district of Erzincan province. State broadcaster TRT Haber said the mine's field manager was among the four people detained.
Gold miner SSR Mining on Tuesday suspended production at the mine after what it described as a "large slip on the heap leach pad". The incident sparked a plunge of more than 50% in its Toronto-listed shares.
Reuters was able to verify the location of the video from the landscape and road layout of the area which matched satellite imagery and corroborating video from national TV channels which showed aftermath of the same scene.
Reuters was also able to confirm the date the video was filmed from the date and timestamp seen in the left-hand corner which matched a statement put out by Turkish Energy Ministry.

#massachusetts #carcrash #thesun
Dramatic dashcam footage shows the moment an ambulance narrowly avoided an out-of-control car as it crashed through barriers and rolled across a highway in Peabody, Massachusetts, on February 13.
The footage was released by Cataldo Ambulance Service, who said two of its paramedics were transporting a patient to Mass General Hospital in Boston shortly before 1 pm when the incident occurred.
Tim Crosbie, the paramedic who was driving the ambulance, quickly swerved to avoid the vehicle as it spun out of control on Interstate 95. Crosbie, along with EMT Tim Wareham, rushed to the aid of the driver as they waited for other emergency services to arrive.
Once the driver was being treated, they continued their journey to Boston. Crosbie told WCVB that the 17-year-old driver of the car was not seriously injured.
In a statement, Cataldo Ambulance Service praised Crosbie for his quick thinking, and said his driving skills allowed them to avoid the crash.
