Over the last few weeks, Ukraine has faced a massive onslaught as Russia began a wave of assaults on the Eastern Front. Reuters recently reported that “resurgent Russian forces, which significantly outnumber and outgun the Ukrainian defenders, have been mounting multiple attacks across the eastern Donbas region in recent months and along the country’s northeastern border last week.
The drive has marked an inflection point in the conflict spawned by Russia’s full-scale invasion more than two years ago.
Russia has gained more territory in 2024 than it lost control of during Ukraine’s much-hyped counteroffensive in the summer of 2023, according to Pasi Paroinen, an analyst with Black Bird Group, a Finnish-based volunteer group that analyses satellite imagery and social media content from the war.
Moscow’s forces have claimed 654 sq km since the beginning of this year, outstripping the 414 sq km lost to Ukraine between June 1 and Oct. 1 last year, Paroinen said. Russia has gained 222 sq km of territory since only May 2, he added.”
As his nation slowly loses the war, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, fresh off receiving another round of American aid worth billions of dollars, has begun begging NATO to do something it’s promised not to do.
The New York Times reports that NATO allies are inching closer to sending troops into Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces, a move that would be another blurring of a previous red line and could draw the United States and Europe more directly into the war.
Ukraine’s manpower shortage has reached a critical point, and its position on the battlefield in recent weeks has seriously worsened as Russia has accelerated its advances to take advantage of delays in shipments of American weapons. As a result, Ukrainian officials have asked their American and NATO counterparts to help train 150,000 new recruits closer to the front line for faster deployment.
I remember something about Ukraine's problem was not so much weapons as man power. Also if you want the definition of slippery slope just look at this mess.
