This photograph taken on Feb.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;27, 2022 shows a Russian Armoured personnel carrier burning next to unidentified soldier's body during fight with the Ukrainian armed forces in Kharkiv&lt;br&gt;On March 2, they ambushed and destroyed a Russian convoy carrying elite Chechen fighters under the National Guard of Russia, killing several - reportedly including the unit's commander - General Magomed Tushayev, although this has been disputed.&lt;br&gt;Ultimately, Ukraine's forces successfully repelled the attempt on the presidential palace and, a month later, Russian forces pulled back entirely from Kyiv.&lt;br&gt;Zelensky and his family - who refused offers from Britain and the US to be evacuated, opting to stay in Kyiv - were not captured or killed, and he has gone on to become a vital wartime leader for his embattled country.&lt;br&gt;But there's a high chance that the outcome would have been vastly different had Ukraine's special forces failed, and the Russian assassins prevailed.&lt;br&gt;Since then, the two countries' Spetsnaz units have been heavily involved in the on-going 14-month conflict, but in vastly different ways.&lt;br&gt;Here, as Ukraine prepares to launch its next counteroffensive against Russia, MailOnline looks at how the paths of their respective Special Operations Forces diverged from the initial clash in the capital...&lt;br&gt;  Ukraine Special Operations Forces (SOF) vs Russian Spetsnaz&lt;br&gt;Both Ukrainian and Russian commando units share their roots in the Soviet Union.&lt;br&gt;Known as Spetsnaz, which historically referred to the Soviet Union's Spetsnaz GRU, the units made up the covert operations branch of the military intelligence service and other security services before the union broke up.&lt;br&gt;Because Spetsnaz is a Russian word, it typically refers to Russia's special forces, but with the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, other post-soviet states also inherited their special forces from the now-defunct Soviet security agencies.&lt;br&gt;As is the case with other military hardware such as tanks, fighter jets and aircraft, Russian and Ukrainian Spetsnaz have also been known to use much of the same equipment - such as various models of AK-74s and Glock sidearms.&lt;br&gt;However, the influx of western weaponry into the Ukrainian military - particularly over the last two years, while Russia has advanced its weaponry from the Soviet era - has meant their equipment has diverged.&lt;br&gt;Differences in how Ukraine and Russian special forces operate have also emerged over the course of the on-going conflict.&lt;br&gt;Ukraine's highly-trained elite units - modelled on western special forces such as Britain's SAS - are limited in number, and so have been deployed in a more conventional and precise way.&lt;br&gt;

Pictured: Two Alpha Group personnel are seen during training exercises (file photo)&lt;br&gt;It is understood that the ambush on the Chechen convoy was carried out by the unit, meaning its soldiers were engaged in fighting from the very first days of the war. &lt;br&gt;The Ukrainian side claimed to have destroyed 56 tanks in the convoy and to have killed hundreds of Chechen fighters in the Battle of Hostomel.&lt;br&gt;In addition to the ambush, the unit was reported to have played a key role in repelling a 40-mile convoy advancing on Kyiv. &lt;br&gt;The world watched in horror as satellite images showed hundreds - if not thousands - of Russian armoured vehicles rolled towards the capital, waiting for the seemingly inevitable mass siege and fall of Ukraine's capital city.&lt;br&gt;But then the convoy stalled, and reports from the frontlines brought news of sabotage missions being carried out by a combination of artillery strikes, drones, mines and Ukrainian commandos.&lt;br&gt;Alpha Group has been linked to a number of ambushes in the effort to stop the convoy, reportedly targeting vehicles at the front and the rear of the massive armoured column in order to halt the progress of the other vehicles.&lt;br&gt;Videos in the opening phases of the war showed artillery strikes bombarding Russian tanks, but also javelin missiles - fired by hand-held launchers - striking and blowing up Moscow's heavy armour.&lt;br&gt;Soldiers armed with the western anti-tank weapons were able to sneak up on Russian armour, fire their deadly missiles with pinpoint accuracy, and slip away into the dark. &lt;br&gt;Russian troops in the column struggled for food and fuel as the supply line was disrupted, while the constant fear of attack made sleep difficult.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a result, morale among the Russian soldiers in the column fell.&lt;br&gt;The stalled column became emblematic of Russia's early failures in relying on slow-moving soviet-era tactics. By contrast, Ukraine's more mobile special units equipped with modern tech - such as Alpha Group - wreaked havoc on the Russian army.&lt;br&gt;After a month of being bogged down in thick mud and making little to no progress into the capital, the convoy was forced to pull back, along with all Russian forces in the Kyiv region, marking an embarrassing defeat for Vladimir Putin.&lt;br&gt; Pictured: A group of soldiers from Ukraine's Alpha Group pose in the summer of 2022, after liberating Kupiansk during the Kharkiv counteroffensive&lt;br&gt; Pictured: Alpha Group soldiers pose with a &lt;br&gt;Other Alpha Group fighters were also engaged in the doomed defence of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city just 20 miles from the Russian border. &lt;br&gt;The city was lost within days on account of it being so close to Russia, and a brutal Russian occupation gripped the city.&lt;br&gt;But soon after Russian forces pulled back from Kyiv, Ukraine launched a lightning double-pronged counterattack in the north and south of the country, and Kharkiv was later liberated from Putin's occupying forces.&lt;br&gt;In the north, Russia ceded thousands of miles of territory as Kyiv's forces pushed forward, led by Alpha Group fighters and other special forces units.&lt;br&gt;The elite unit spearheaded Ukraine's efforts to liberate north-east regions of Ukraine, and were pictured by road signs for towns such as Kupiansk - surprising many commentators at how deep they were inside Russian-controlled territory.&lt;br&gt;But it was Russian territory no-longer, and thanks to their efforts, the north-eastern town and many others in the region were rid of the Russian occupiers.&lt;br&gt;  Ukraine SOF &lt;br&gt;While the exact operational details of missions carried out by Ukraine's special forces are unlikely to become public any time soon, if ever, the fingerprints of elite units have been all over suspicious and dramatic attacks since the war began.&lt;br&gt;Some such attacks have reached deep over the frontlines into Russian-seized territory, and even Russia itself, prompting speculation of special forces involvement.&lt;br&gt;One example was a huge blast in October 2022 that ripped a hole in the Kerch Bridge, the huge crossing linking Russia to annexed Crimea.&lt;br&gt; Members of Ukrainian special forces engage in zeroing their weapons prior to a mission in the region of Bakhmut, Ukraine, April 6, 2023&lt;br&gt; The attack was an embarrassing blow for Putin. The bridge - hated by Ukrainians - had been a key project for the despot, and he even personally opened it in 2018. &lt;br&gt;It was also a key supply route for Russian forces in the south of Ukraine.&lt;br&gt;While Ukraine had said the bridge and other sites in Crimea were valid targets for their military, [https://stolanodual.bluescafe.it/ palsu] a strike on a target that far away from Ukraine-controlled territory had previously been unthinkable.&lt;br&gt;But on October 8, a fire broke out on the bridge resulting in an explosion. A span of the bridge collapsed into the water below, while the railway bridge was also significantly damaged.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Five people were killed.&lt;br&gt;To add to Putin's misery, the explosion struck the day after his 70th birthday and one week after he announced the annexation of four Ukrainian regions - Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia - none of which were under full Russian control.&lt;br&gt;The attack caused uproar in Russia, and celebrations in Ukraine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Immediately, questions were being asked: Could Ukraine have done this?&lt;br&gt;To this day, no one has claimed responsibility, and President Zelensky stated that Ukraine 'did not order' the attack.&lt;br&gt;However, many have suspected the involvement of Ukrainian special forces. &lt;br&gt;The foreign minister of Estonia Urmas Reinsalu welcomed the explosion and suggested that Ukrainian special forces were behind it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He recalled that Ukrainian authorities had for a long time been calling for an attack on the bridge.&lt;br&gt;To this day, the exact circumstances of the attack remain unclear. Videos from the bridge do not conclusively show how the attack took place. &lt;br&gt;Some suggested elite units may have used a remote, underwater drone, although the prevailing theory is that a truck bomb was used.&lt;br&gt;But whatever the cause, the blast specifically hit a weak point of the bridge, and even ignited a train carriage carrying large fuel tanks on the adjacent bridge - showing that it was a well planned and orchestrated attack.&lt;br&gt;Speaking to the BBC at the time, a former British army explosives expert said of the blast: 'This is a masterpiece of clandestine sabotage.'&lt;br&gt; Pictured: Black smoke billows from a fire on the Kerch bridge that links Crimea to Russia on October 8, 2022.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is believed that Ukrainian special forces were behind the attack&lt;br&gt;Another attack deep inside Russian territory - this time in Russia itself - which raised the prospect of Ukrainian SOF involvement was .&lt;br&gt;The nuclear-capable Tu-95s - also known as bears - had been used by Russia to attack Ukrainian targets with missiles launched from a great distance, and were seen as a high-value target.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But again, the attack took everyone by surprise.&lt;br&gt;Video from the airbase on the morning of December 5 showed a huge flash of an explosion. Three Russian personnel were killed when a fuel truck detonated. &lt;br&gt;The airbase is around 300 miles east of the most eastern point of Ukraine, and even further from the most eastern point currently under Ukrainian control.&lt;br&gt;This means that no artillery in Ukraine's arsenal - even the American HIMARS - have the range to strike it from inside Kyiv's territory.&lt;br&gt;As a result, it is believed that the attack was carried out by a long-range drone which can be launched from 600 miles away, well within range from Ukrainian territory.&lt;br&gt;However, at least one of the strikes is understood to have been made with the help of special forces close to the base, who guided the drones to their target. This was according to a Ukrainian official speaking anonymously to the New York Times. &lt;br&gt; Pictured: A flash is seen from an explosion that struck the Engels-2 airbase near the Russian city of Saratov in December, leaving two long-range bombers damaged&lt;br&gt;Ukrainian commandos are also believed to have been involved in the recapturing of Snake Island, a Ukrainian island located in the Black Sea.&lt;br&gt;Snake Island was captured by Russian forces on the first day of Putin's invasion, when one border guard in its garrison gained near-mythic status.&lt;br&gt;Moments before two Russian warships attacked the island, the crews hailed the garrison telling them to surrender. &lt;br&gt;The border guard responded: 'Russian warship, go f**k yourself.' His remark went viral online and became a rallying cry across all of Ukraine - and even prompted the Ukrainian government to create a postage stamp honouring the soldiers there.&lt;br&gt;From that point on, the island gained a symbolic significance, and not just for its vital tactical position, and on July 1, Ukraine was able to push Russian forces off the landmass once they were in-range of US-provided HIMARS missile systems.&lt;br&gt;However, as Russia retreated, two Su-30 fighter jets bombed the island with phosphorus bombs, perhaps as a scorched-earth tactic to destroy any weapons and equipment left behind to prevent them from falling into Ukrainian hands.&lt;br&gt;This led to Ukrainian military officials suspecting that Russia may have mined the island.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Therefore, naval special forces units were sent in.&lt;br&gt;Divers from Ukraine's SOF are understood to have approached the island underwater, checking for mines, before other forces moved in.&lt;br&gt; In this photo provided by the Ukrainian Defence Ministry Press Office on Thursday, July 7, 2022, Ukrainian soldiers install the state flag on Snake island after recapturing it from Russia&lt;br&gt;Since the war began, there have been a suspicious number of assassinations of high-profile Russian officials, either in Russia itself or in occupied territory.&lt;br&gt;One of the objectives of Ukraine's special forces since the war broke out has been to organise resistance movements in towns and cities captured by Russia, and these movements are suspected of being behind such attacks.&lt;br&gt;A number of car bombs have been reported, in which officials - such as Russian-installed mayors - have been blown up.&lt;br&gt;One high-profile attack was the assassination of Darya Dugina in Bolshie Vyazyomy, on the outskirts of Moscow, on August 20, 2022. &lt;br&gt;Dugina was the daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, a supporter of Vladimir Putin and a far-right political philosopher, who has been a key supporter of the invasion of Ukraine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She is understood to have shared her father's views.&lt;br&gt;Dugina's car exploded at around 9.45pm. Reports suggested that her father had been due to travel with her, but switched cars at the last minute. Investigators later said they found an explosive device fixed to the underside of her car. &lt;br&gt;Two days after the attack, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed the Ukrainian special forces were behind the killing.   &lt;br&gt;
