During a recent assessment by Ukrainian President Zelensky at the front line, it was revealed that there is a challenging situation in various areas where Russian troops have concentrated their forces. The delay in aid to Ukraine has allowed Russian troops to take advantage of the situation. Ukraine is facing shortages in artillery, frontline air defense, and longer-range weapons, highlighting the urgent need for additional resources.
Furthermore, Russia has initiated movements in multiple locations, including the recent capture of the city of Avdika and the deployment of 40,000 troops to Mariupol, with an additional 110,000 troops positioned further south. This has raised concerns of a potential Russian counteroffensive to regain control of territories lost during the Ukrainian counteroffensive last year.
