This morning, Russian forces are expected to advance in Ukraine after they took the key eastern city of Edifka. Ukrainian officials have reported that weapons and ammunition are running low, with Western support hanging in the balance. The White House has attributed the devastating loss to Congressional Republicans' failure to pass an aid package, while Russian President Vladimir Putin has hailed the Ukrainian retreat as an unconditional success.
Reports from Kherson, Ukraine, indicate ongoing shelling along the southern banks, with the town experiencing intermittent attacks throughout the day. Kherson, once liberated from Russian control over a year ago, now faces renewed conflict. Avdiivka, recently taken by Russian forces, has raised concerns about potential further advancements in the region.
