Russian forces have increased the intensity and frequency of their mechanized assaults on Ukraine in recent weeks, possibly aiming to break through Ukrainian defenses before additional Western aid arrives. Despite facing severe shortages of ammunition and supplies, Ukraine has successfully repelled these assaults, which have included infantry supported by armored assets. The assaults have been ongoing since March, with Ukrainian forces managing to fend off significant attacks near various locations. The spike in these assaults could be attributed to factors like upcoming muddy terrain in the spring or exploiting Ukraine’s current struggles and material shortages before Western assistance arrives. As Ukraine continues to defend itself with limited resources, the hope lies in the imminent aid from NATO allies and potential long-term support discussions.
