Escalating Tensions and Shifts in Ukraine

Ukraine marks 1,000 days since the onset of hostilities with Russia, showcasing its resilience amidst immense human and infrastructural costs. The introduction of long-range missiles supplied by the U.S. represents a shift in Ukraine's capability to retaliate against Russian attacks. Critics argue that delays in receiving such military support have cost many Ukrainian lives and damaged cities that could have been spared. The evolving dynamics of international military support also raise questions about future commitments from greater powers, highlighting the geopolitical stakes in the ongoing conflict.
