Abstract

Russia has launched armored attacks in Ukraine's northeast, creating a new front against Ukrainian forces. The attacks come at a critical moment for Ukraine, as they await U.S. military aid and struggle to hold the line against mounting Russian offensives. Ukrainian troops are outnumbered and facing a shortage of weaponry, while Russian forces are gradually advancing in the east. The situation is further complicated by Russia's lack of coordination between its air force and ground troops. Ukraine must now make difficult choices about where to deploy its limited resources to defend against Russian advances. [Extracted from the article]
