Ukraine-Russia tensions: Russian troops warned by Ukrainian general 'land will be flooded' with their blood
A full invasion of Ukraine would not be a "simple walk in the park" for Russia because Ukrainian troops would fight for every metre, the commander of all ground forces has warned.
General Oleksandr Syrskyi said his soldiers were starting a round of military exercises in the north of Ukraine, near to the border with Moscow-ally Belarus, where Russian forces are conducting a massive joint exercise on the other side with Belarusian troops.
The 56-year-old said Ukrainian personnel will also carry out training in the south. The exercises will include testing new US and UK weapons and practising how to counter airborne assaults.

I expect they do.
Ukraine suffered enormously during World War II. The figure often cited for "Russian" casualties during that war--military and civilian--includes millions of Ukrainians.
