Fighting, including the use of artillery and rockets proscribed by the cease-fire, still occurs daily, as do military and civilian casualties on both sides of the war. Ukrainian government troops engage in daily combat against a combined force of pro-Russian separatists and Russian troops.Ī February 2015 cease-fire has collapsed. Three years and two cease-fires later, the war is ongoing. By July 2014, Ukraine had retaken 23 out of 36 districts captured by combined Russian-separatist forces. Ukraine subsequently launched a military operation to counter the advance and take back lost territory.
Spurred by Russian security agents and special forces troops, two Russian-backed breakaway territories in eastern Ukraine declared their independence from Kyiv during the following weeks. The Ukraine conflict began on April 6, 2014. “Ukraine’s front line for freedom is ours as well,” Nuland said. “We all know that today, a Europe whole, free, and at peace rises or falls with Ukraine,” Victoria Nuland, then-assistant secretary of state, said in January 2015. is investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and Moscow’s military brinksmanship has rattled countries across Eastern Europe, turning the region into the most rapidly militarizing region on earth. Tanks, artillery, machine guns, snipers, land mines, and trenches-the type of warfare in Ukraine today, and the day-to-day life of the soldiers who fight in it, is not altogether different from what American doughboys encountered on the Western Front a century ago albeit on a much smaller geographic and human scale. Today, another static, long-distance trench war is ongoing in Europe along the 250 miles of front lines in eastern Ukraine.
