Two Russian military vehicles were seen in two regions that broke away from Ukraine, which President Vladimir Putin declared independent. This move has been met with fierce international condemnation. Expected to trigger a new round of international sanctions against Moscow.
The president of Ukraine accuses Putin of trying to revive Soviet Union. Williams said that the war in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region has been ongoing since 2014.
Williams and her Ukrainian soldiers traveled by truck to the frontline with Williams’ team. Williams was ordered to immediately go underground after a local commander declared it too dangerous to make a front-line visit.
They found themselves in a literal quagmire when they finally made it to the trenches. The Ukrainian forces claimed that the snow had melted earlier this year, leaving deep-colored mud. This mud, however, was not enough to stop a Russian invasion.
Private Valeri Kashkarov said that “normally it’s heavy shelling for 24 hours.” Before he signed up, he was a businessman. Prior to that, he was an Exchange Student in Dallas.
He claimed that he and his troops did not know why Putin would invade.
Williams was told by he that they were on their own land and that they were soldiers of the country protecting it. “I don’t know what’s in Vladimir Putin’s head.”
Since 2014, Ukraine has been fighting the Russian-backed separatists within the country’s eastern Donbas region. But violence has escalated in the past week.
Officials from the United States claim that Moscow is arming separatists. Ukraine accuses them of targeting civilian areas, including Novognativka where residents appear shell-shocked.
Ekaterina Evseeva, resident said that “we’re on the edge of nervous breakdowns.” “There is nowhere to run.”
Williams was told by Sergeant Fedenyak Lubomir back in the trenches that Ukraine needed protection from the Air. America should assist.
