Russian Troops Strip Ukraine Of Skilled Defenders; Ukraine Sends Untrained Troops To Deadly Fronts

Amid escalating tensions on the frontlines, Russia’s ongoing military campaign has left Ukraine’s defense forces vulnerable, forcing them to make desperate decisions in the face of mounting casualties. In a critical move, Ukraine has been compelled to redeploy its skilled air defense specialists to infantry positions due to severe manpower shortages. This reallocation of personnel has left key defense systems weakened, with some air defense units operating at less than half their full capacity. Meanwhile, Ukraine is sending untrained soldiers to fight on deadly frontlines, raising concerns about their ability to effectively counter Russian advances. As casualties rise and desertion rates climb, Ukraine’s military is under intense pressure to hold the line, but its ability to maintain security and defensive strength is rapidly being tested. #UkraineCrisis #RussianTroops #SkilledDefenders #UntrainedTroops #UkraineMilitary #FrontlineStruggles #DefenseCrisis #MilitaryShortage #UkraineWar #RussianAdvances #AirDefense #SoldierStruggles #ManpowerCrisis #UkraineDefense #WarTensions Also Read 9/11 Like Attack Takes Place In Russia; All Flights At Kazan Airport Suspended :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/9-11-like-attack-takes-place-in-russia-all-flights-at-kazan-airport-suspended-011-4022565.html?ref=DMDesc NATO Chief Visits Bulgaria to Inspect Joint Military Unit and Urges Enhanced Support for Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/nato-chief-inspects-joint-military-unit-bulgaria-support-ukraine-011-4021049.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Urges Immediate Cease-Fire in Ukraine and Considers US Withdrawal from NATO :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-for-cease-fire-in-ukraine-nato-withdrawal-possible-011-4010085.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~
