💨 Abstract

Russia is intensifying its military offensives in Ukraine, aiming to secure territorial gains before considering a ceasefire. Ukrainian forces are focused on slowing the Russian advance and inflicting heavy losses. Moscow is making progress in the eastern Donetsk region, while Ukraine is trying to divert Russian troops by engaging them in the Sumy region. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy seeks stronger U.S. support, including tougher sanctions and a potential "reassurance force" to deter further Russian aggression.
