After Vladimir Putin assembled upward of 100,000 troops along the Ukraine border over one year ago, his full-scale invasion of Ukraine has proven anything but successful. Russia’s initial attack on Kyiv failed, and its subsequent setbacks in Kharkiv and Kherson only further highlighted the poor performance of Moscow’s armed forces.

Ukraine now faces a critical moment as it gears up for yet another counteroffensive to liberate its territory following Russia’s most recent offensive in the Donbas.
