"Escalating Russian Mechanized Assaults in Ukraine: ISW Reports"
Russia has escalated its mechanized assaults on Ukraine in recent weeks, potentially aiming to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses before increased Western aid arrives. Despite facing severe shortages of ammunition and supplies, Ukrainian forces have managed to repel these assaults. The spike in attacks may be linked to the upcoming muddy terrain and Ukraine's material shortages. While Ukraine awaits additional support from NATO allies and potential aid packages, Russia has been strengthening its military capabilities, according to Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell.
