Look Familiar? The Trenches of the Ukraine War


I recently read an article on the Foreign Policy magazine website HERE that argues the it would be a mistake to compare the trench war fighting of the Ukraine-Russia war with that of World War I. It argues that the terrain is more similar to the Normandy hedgerow bocage of the 1944 post-D-Day fighting. I don't know that much about Ukrainian geography, but to me, the trenches of 2023 look a lot similar to those of 1914-1918.  Here's a sampling of photos I've found from various news organization websites. I think most are of Ukrainian sites. The last showing the digging for what looks to be an underground bunker is of Russian origin.
