Let us not forget that Ukraine has conscripted its army and forced them to fight Ukrainians (Russian seperatists) in the east. For the Ukrainian soldiers returning from the conflict in the east of the country, the return to civilian life after months on the frontline can be traumatic. NATO is funding psychological rehabilitation seminars run by trained psychologists from the League of Officers – a Ukrainian organisation – to give servicemen and women the tools they need to cope with the readjustment and recognise the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
