26 months have passed since the start of the war in Ukraine. During this period, things at the front gradually reached a state of equilibrium. In Donbass, the skirmish line settled in Donetsk Oblast after virtually all of Luhansk Oblast was captured by the Russian army, but a successful Ukrainian counter-offensive in Kharkiv Oblast has led to Ukrainian pressure in Luhansk Oblast as well, where the Russians have ceded some territory and are desperately defending key points along the important line Svatovo – Kremena. In the Kherson region, the Ukrainians have already liberated the city of Kherson, with the Russian forces retreating east of the Dnieper, but they are already attacking in all directions of the front – Avdeevka, Bakhmut, Zaporozhye, Kupyansk, Liman. Avdeevka was ceded to the Russians on February 17, 2024. The issue with the Zaporizhia NPP also remains open.
Ukrainian officials, the military and military analysts are predicting tough weeks ahead for the country as it tries to contain Russia’s advances on the battlefield despite the passage of a long-awaited US funding bill, the Financial Times reports. The US House of Representatives approved a $60 billion military aid package after a months-long delay that left Ukraine without key weapons ahead of a looming Russian offensive. American weapons and ammunition will begin arriving in Ukraine in the coming days, following final approval by the Senate.
