Among all missions in the GDI campaign this is the hardest, and among the three variants the difficulty also differs.

Ukraine West/Germany West are categorised as two separate mission files for some reason, even though the maps are identical. This is the easiest to do and it's least dependent on chance. There's a money crate at the corner opposite the northwestern corner of your base, but I found that taking that route increased the run time.

Ukraine East is easily and by far the hardest and most frustrating to do. There are no money crates and the alignment of Nod's structures is what makes it tough: the airstrip is within range of the turrets, and the pathway to the Hand of Nod is clogged with lots of units. I don't think it's feasible to make vehicles in this variant but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Germany East is the most popular variant among speedrunners and my old method from 2015, that of distracting the units by going north and firing at structures still works, but on original hard this is far more difficult to pull. On original hard one enemy light tanks beats your medium tank. There is also randomness in how the units align themselves after going north to fight yours, so after many trials I decided to call it quits. Indeed, I'm reluctant to upload this run because there's a large element of luck involved.

Purchase and play Command and Conquer Remastered from Steam or Origin (I recommend the former).
