Russia has the initiative, and without Western help Ukraine could lose even more territory – France 24

Ukrainian soldiers are very tired, many of them have been on the frontline without rest for many months, France 24 reported.

The Ukrainian armed forces need more fighters to help hold their positions. As Russia now has the advantage, it is attacking “along the entire eastern front line”.

But right now, everything is just hanging on to the help of the West. If the weapons stop coming, “there is a real risk of serious territorial setbacks for Ukraine,” one Ukrainian officer said.

If that happens and European and U.S. support stops, not only will Ukraine not be able to regain territory it has already lost, it will likely lose new territory.
