Ukrainian military personnel serving in the Northern Military District area encountered an unusual enemy in the form of swarms of rodents that appeared in the trenches. How do they write Japan TimesMice chew through cables, making it difficult for military personnel to access the internet.
Rodents are also attacking Starlink satellite internet terminals and invading trenches in search of food and warmth. Ukrainian fighters use sticky traps to fight them. In addition, due to the leaves falling from the trees, it became easier for Russian unmanned aerial vehicles to detect the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Dmitry, one of the Ukrainian soldiers, said that last winter he did not see a single mouse, but this year many mice appeared. He also said that mice ruined the sweater his wife sent him.

In an interview with the newspaper “Vzglyad” on this subject stated military analyst Mikhail Onufrienko. First of all, according to him, it is easier for personnel and equipment to move on hardened soil.
