'The Invisible Army,' Ukrainian Mine Engineers on the Front Line

Aliona Gramova visited the soldiers of the 30th Mechanized Brigade to tell the story of the 'invisible forces' – mine troops who clear the way for infantry and equipment, prepare defence lines, etc. Since it is Russian minefields and fortifications that do not allow effective Ukrainian counteroffensive actions in the South and East of Ukraine.

Bigger balls than I have and much braver! True heroes ❤

Such a dangerous job, please stay safe dear heroes! 🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌻🌻🌻

[Pemit-unch]

We love you guys, go ahead and stay safe and healthy ❣️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

One small group pulled 750 mines in one week, not anywhere near the front lines.
Well trained sappers are very good at keeping farms cleared for spring planting, villages with mines in the cemetery, and roadside mines defused. Yes, the mines aren't just to hurt military forces, but civilians too. 🤬

Ukrainian sappers are true heroes, putting their lives on the line to save civilians and their fellow soldiers. Thank you!!! Keep up your courage, relentlessness and cautiousness Ukraine. Stay strong and resilient - you will prevail!!! 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦

Sappers in general are brave people but Ukrainian sappers are dealing with danger at a multiple of 10. Wishing them sharp eyes and steady hands.

Kudos for your resolve and dedication.💙💛

One thing was missing from this video. The wheelbarrows these guys need to carry those huge steel balls they have.

[philliphall]

It’s so dangerous there and having mines and being shoot at at the same time is hell twice 😢😢😢

[AstroGremlinAmerican]

Magnificent report! Slava Sappers. Just a note on pronunciation, "sappers" rhymes with "mappers" with a short "a" not a long "a." My parents corrected my English and I do it as an act of love for you. 🔱

[mariadekelver]

I’m grateful I saw this vid. True unsung heroes of a war. Clearing mines is scary enough, doing it under enemy fire demonstrates every Ukrainians understanding of how dangerous it is to let Russians near their loves ones.

Your English is getting better and better, or...my German ears are getting closer to your lovely accent,
Die Ukraine wird siegen, auch wenn die große Offensive dieses Jahr scheitern sollte... Russland wird keine zweite so erfolgreiche Invasion zustande bringen wie letztes Jahr, wo sie schon jämmerlich gescheitert ist! Und dann ist auch Russland ausgeblutet! Grüße Elimar
Ukraine will be victorious, even if the great offensive this year fails... Russia will not manage a second invasion as successful as last year, when it already failed miserably! And then Russia will be bled dry too! Greetings Elimar
Україна переможе, навіть якщо великий наступ цього року провалиться... Росії не вдасться здійснити друге вторгнення, таке ж успішне, як минулорічне, коли вона вже зазнала жахливої поразки! І тоді Росія також буде знекровлена! З повагою, Елімар
