Ukraine's Counteroffensive and US Aid: Perspectives and Realities

The war has settled into trench warfare, and large-scale operations are unlikely to resume until spring. Meanwhile, Russia has launched its own offensive in Ukraine, and tensions in the Middle East add to Ukraine's challenges. The conflict between Israel and Hamas draws parallels to Ukraine's struggle against Russia, as both face violent, autocratic forces.
