On the front in Ukraine, Ukrainian intelligence is warning of the situation which is deteriorating, and risks deteriorating even further by next summer.
A building in Odessa (Ukraine) is almost completely destroyed. The city was bombed on Sunday April 21 by the Russian army. Marharyta’s parents are among the injured. “My apartment is there, there is nothing left: no more windows, no more doors. (…) Four families live in it”, she confides. In addition to the front in the South, Russia continues to gain ground in the East. On Sunday, Moscow said it had captured a village near Chassiv Yar. The Russians are now targeting Kramatrosk, an important railway and logistics hub, still under Ukrainian control.
Shortage of new recruits and ammunition
Seizing it would offer Russian soldiers a chance to advance significantly in the region. Ukraine has already announced that it expects a difficult situation on the front around mid-May. “Our capabilities on the ground are unfortunately limited”, recognizes Volodymyr Zelensky. The Ukrainian army is facing a shortage of new recruits and ammunition, due to significant delays in the delivery of Western aid. For its part, NATO has promised to send more air defense systems.
