Ukraine's military has taken its clash with neighboring Russia to a new level, debuting new "Western-style" uniforms that deliberately break with old Soviet sartorial motifs.
The green camouflage uniform with a dark-green beret is modeled on British military styles. The cap includes an insignia of a Cossack, the traditional Ukrainian horseman, grasping a cross. The stars that traditionally adorn should straps in Russian and older Soviet uniforms have been replaced by diamonds.
