Ukrainian forces in southern Ukraine are under intense pressure from Russian advances, particularly around Huliaipole, with Ukrainian troops outnumbered and facing logistical challenges, leading to territorial losses and strategic dilemmas for Ukraine's military.
Huliaipole, a farming city on Ukraine's front line, is bracing for a decisive counteroffensive on Russian forces. The town has been under sustained shelling for almost a year, and a successful counteroffensive could break Russia's land route to the occupied Crimean peninsula. Western tanks, the first batch of which were delivered to Ukraine two weeks ago, will likely be key to the assault. If Ukraine fails, the town will face further disintegration under Russian fire.
