Ukrainian soldiers are haunted by nightmares and having mental breakdowns, but they continue fightin

Ukrainian troops are not leaving the front lines, where casualties are high and Russian reinforcements just keep coming, to seek care for a range of mental health issues, and those that do quickly find themselves back in the fight. Soldiers on the lines report suffering from nightmares, trauma, stress, insomnia, and guilt. According to The Washington Post, Ukrainian forces have largely remained in combat despite experiencing severe mental health issues. While some are able to seek treatment or see their families, they are almost immediately sent back into combat. Others are reluctant to leave the line to get care in the first place.

Some Ukrainian troops said there's a comparative lack of reinforcements available to replace them, especially as Russia continues to throw troops and Wagner Group members into battle, exhausting Ukrainian manpower. Mental health discussions are still considered taboo in Ukraine, especially for soldiers, The Post reported. This leaves soldiers on the front lines, even as they suffer post-traumatic stress and trauma, unwilling to talk about their mental health. "It's a pain and a suffering you bestow upon someone else," a soldier told The Post.

This war is destroying a whole generation of Ukrainians and Russians of a certain age.  The losses are horrific and there is no end in sight.

Something tells me that this will turn to Israel - Palestine conflict. When they run out of ammo some temporary treat may be signed but skirmishing will continue. Ukraine will definitely not give up on their territory and Russia will never admit lost in war.

Screw the dam Russians, their the freakin invaders if they had any consideration for the crimes they are committing they would not be there! I have suffered from PTSD since 1999 when I was diagnosed, like today, I have been awake and posting on this forum since 2:00am. I truly have sympathy for the Ukrainians, because I know exactly what they are experiencing, but I apologize for not having any sympathy for the dam Russians, I sincerely hope they suffer!

Sorry, I appreciate your comments but after seeing the destruction the dam Russians have caused in the Ukraine last September-October all I want to see is the Russian defeat!

 You are certainly right the Ukrainians will not give up their homes, after meeting them last year I learned first hand how resolved they are to win this conflict. They are all willing to make the ultimate sacrifice if necessary, American was once like that also, and now we are reduced to being a Nation of political rivals and true patriotism has gone out the window for most, it’s really sad! 

Thanks very much for your post!

One of my colleagues visited western Ukraine a couple of months ago. He said something similar, that they are strong. The problem can arise if West gets tired of supporting Ukraine. 

Regarding USA I don't know how is it from the inside but unfortunately that country had shaken its reputation in the first two decades of 21st century. Something tells me that corporations have too much impact. But that's for another topic.

Corporations are only part of the problem, currently many of our politicians are Nationalists. They are trying to make the country American only, no immigration, and there is a very strong Christian fundamentalism element that has been on the rise in the country. Unfortunately while these groups are a minority, they have far too much support in our government you know no abortions, no gays Christian this and Christian that. But these are only part of the problems that America has, unfortunately it’s not the country I grew up in any longer which is sad. Currently I live in South Korea, don’t know when I will be returning!
