Really struck by that story of the Ukrainian who was injured and lost two friends in the Carpathians due to unexploded ordinance from WW1. My heart hurts. So many of my closest friends have a very special affection for the Carpathians and that region of the country, including one, currently serving in the forces, who owns land there and wants to return there in peacetime to reconnect with their roots. I think regularly about how it will take decades to de-mine Ukraine; it is now the nation with the most mines in the world. This will require a multinational effort, lots of money, time, and bravery to do, as regardless of de-mining equipment, it is not a task without its dangers, and it is likely not just mines, but other unexploded ordinance may be present from the prolonged conflict in the Donbas.

I find the First World War really fascinating, in a way the Great War continues today. The Second, First & Cold can easily be seen as the same conflict, with Orwellian switching, which continues. Sadly it’s centred on a country with the potential to be the a peaceful powerhouse of Europe, (not needing to force external resources)

17th century? Hmm... didn't Poland conquer Moscow at the time? Trying to install a false czar (Demetrius)? It didn't work out, though... Then there was Napoleon. After that, the Germans in 1914. Followed by the Allied forces in 1918/19. Then, the Poles in 1920. Finally, Hitler.
Ukrainians also fought at the Western front of the 1st world war as part of Russian expeditionary forces sent to prop up the French (some 20,000 soldiers).My grand, grand, grand father was one of the grenadiers mobilised near Kyiv and took part in the battle of Verdun. He returned to Ukraine when revolution broke out and was executed by bolsheviks for organising an uprising in Brovary in mid 20s....

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue launching devastating daily strikes ruining Ukrainian rear infrastructure. Russian drones and missiles are pounding targets both at night and during the day. Representatives of the Air Forces of Ukraine stated that Ukrainian air defense shot down 39 Russian kamikaze drones Geran-2 out of 71 over the past night. According to the official report by the Ukrainian command, Russian drones were shot down in the Kirovograd, Kyiv, Sumy and Poltava regions. But in the morning, Russian drones continued to circle over the territory of Ukraine, in particular in the capital, destroying more targets. The command of the Ukrainian Air Forces noted that Russian drones constantly change course and may struck their targets from different directions. The Russian military is trying to overload Ukraine’s air defense systems as much as possible. Therefore, they carry out massive attacks with the help of inexpensive kamikaze drones. The Ukrainian military complains that the Russians began launching drone strikes almost round-the-clock in order to save missiles and simultaneously conduct reconnaissance of Kiev-controlled territories. It was recently revealed that some of Russian Gerans were equipped with cameras which allowed to observe areas in the deep enemy rear. Ukrainian military experts claimed that Russian forces began to use updated kamikaze Geran drones with thermobaric warheads. Although so far, Russians do not use this type of drones en masse. The upgraded UAVs are reportedly equipped with warheads similar to the one used in heavy flamethrower systems of Solntsepek aimed to cause fire and increase damage.
