The Trauma of Drone Warfare in Ukraine
Introduction
In Ukraine, the war has taken on a new form with the use of drones. As soldiers try to escape the frontlines, they are haunted by the constant sound of drones following them. This has led to a new form of trauma known as "Droneophobia".
Impact on Soldiers
The use of drones has not only changed the way the war is fought, but also the mental toll it takes on soldiers. The constant fear of being targeted by a drone can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. This new form of trauma has been added to the list of challenges that soldiers face when returning from the frontlines.
Impact on Civilians
The use of drones has also affected civilians living near the frontlines. The constant sound of drones has become a part of their daily lives, causing fear and anxiety. The fear of being caught in the crossfire between drones and soldiers has led to many families fleeing their homes, adding to the already dire refugee crisis in Ukraine.
