RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with AFP at the Presidential Office in Kyiv, has said Russian troops had managed to advance between five to 10 kilometers along the northeastern border before being stopped by Ukrainian forceson, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russian forces have taken 278 square kilometers between May 9 and 15, their biggest gains since the end of 2022, AFP calculated using data from the Institute for the Study of War.
Ukraine needs “120 to 130” F-16 fighter jets or other advanced aircraft to achieve air “parity” with Russia, Zelensky said. Like the initial invasion in 2022, Russia was “counting on a rapid advance through our land,” he added. With no end to the war in sight, Ukraine’s army is struggling to recruit, while fighters are growing exhausted and angry at the lack of rotation.
Ukraine’s strongest allies, the Baltic states and Poland, have grown nervous that Russia may try to attack them.
