President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vatican just prior to Pope Francis's funeral, sharing concerns about Vladimir Putin's intentions regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine. As the conflict endures, non-traditional military forces, such as paramilitary groups, have emerged as significant players. Both Russia and Ukraine have employed these forces alongside conventional military units. A recent ranking identified Eastern European nations by their paramilitary personnel numbers, underlining the region's complex military dynamics and geopolitical relevance.
As the war in Ukraine continues to take a devastating toll, the role of non-traditional forces on both sides has become critical outside of regular military operations.
Both sides have relied on paramilitary forces to fight in addition to traditional military forces. Paramilitary forces don't appear to operate under the direct control of either country.
Understanding the military dynamics of Eastern Europe is essential due to the region's critical geopolitical importance.
It makes me think that maybe he [Putin] doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently.
