As the Ukrainian counter-offensive gains momentum in the south, UK military chiefs have reported that Russian troops are facing significant challenges, including ammunition shortages and a lack of reserves.
The Ministry of Defence warns that elements of the 5th Combined Army are particularly strained, leading to a sense of fatigue and attrition.
Ukrainian Counter-Offensive and Moscow’s Response:
The humanitarian coordinator for Ukraine, Denise Brown, emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed, and thousands of people remain homeless following the collapse of the Kakhovka dam, which Ukraine blames on a Russian attack.
The international community must act swiftly to provide crucial aid and support to the millions of Ukrainians in need, as they prepare to endure another challenging winter amidst the ravages of war.
