Although President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed legislation allowing long-awaited foreign aid to Kyiv, it didn't come in time to prevent Russia from seizing several villages in eastern Ukraine over the past week.
Ukraine's vulnerability after months of delays in the arrival aid from the U.S. and Western allies, and its inability to mobilize more men to restock front-line forces, was evident in recent losses west of Avdiivka, a strategic city captured by Russian troops in February. Russia is making incremental gains toward its goal of taking all of Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland in the Donbas region, even though it hasn't been able to stage a large-scale breakthrough to precipitate significant advances.
Ukraine has struggled to stabilize the front line since Russian forces seized the heavily fortified city of Avdiivka — a loss U.S. officials and troops on the ground attributed directly to delays in aid.
