Ukraine reports soldier fatigue, not trauma, is top issue

Ukraine's Ground Forces have revealed that the majority of issues reported by soldiers to military psychologists are not combat-related trauma. Over 70% of complaints involve chronic fatigue, sleep deprivation, and anxieties about family back home, highlighting the immense strain of prolonged frontline service. One military psychologist noted that while civilians might afford a year of therapy, soldiers are lucky to get a week of psychological support. This report underscores the severe mental and physical toll the war is taking on Ukrainian troops beyond direct battlefield injuries.
