Ukrainian forces are on the backfoot as they wait for the resumption of much-needed American military aid.
Ukrainian forces remain under intense pressure at multiple points along the 900-mile front line with Russia, as Kyiv awaits a much-needed fresh injection of Western military aid and prepares for an expected summer offensive by Moscow's troops.Ukrainian units have been forced back in several areas over the past six months, following the failure of Kyiv's summer 2023 counteroffensive operation and partially due to the sudden constriction of military support from the U.S.
But the immediate outlook for Ukraine remains bleak, despite continued successful strikes deep into Russian territory.Russian ballistic missile and drone missile strikes across Ukraine appear to be increasingly penetrating the national air defense umbrella, possibly due to a lack of munitions caused by slowing Western aid. Thursday night saw a fresh attack, with multiple civilians reported killed. Newsweek has contacted the Russian Defense Ministry by email to request comment.
