A "deadly summer" awaits Ukraine and Russia at the front. But the WSJ doubts that any of the parties will be able to achieve a decisive breakthrough
A few days ago, Voloshyn reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had pushed out the occupiers from the Kanal neighbourhood in Chasiv Yar, where fighting had been going on for several months. The Russians continue to try to break through the defence of the defenders in this area.
Western allies are helping Ukraine to significantly improve the situation at the front
According to her, the Ukrainian military situation is improving with renewed aid from the US and partners.
In particular, the USA, Great Britain, Germany and France, albeit with restrictions, allow the Ukrainian military to strike with their own weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands and Romania are supplying additional Patriot systems, Italy is also promising an anti-aircraft system, and Spain is helping with ammunition.
The country may also gain new supporters. With Vladimir Putin recently forming a military alliance with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, South Korea is considering supplying arms to Ukraine. The EU has opened accession talks and is launching further military aid, for the first time using interest income from frozen Russian assets. Thanks to these funds, the G7 countries promise Ukraine a loan of up to 50 billion euros. The first F-16 aircraft are expected to arrive in Ukraine soon, the analyst emphasises.
