Large-Scale Russian Missile Attack Across Ukraine Amid Stalemate in War

Ukrainian Troops Physically Exhausted; Western Support Crucial for Ukraine's Potential Victory

• Russian forces have launched a large-scale missile attack across Ukraine, with several cities including Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kryvyi Rih reporting damage and casualties.
• Ukrainian troops are physically exhausted and are officially in defensive mode along most of the 600-mile front line.
• Ukraine's counter-offensive, which began in June, failed to capture any significant territory, leading to a stalemate in the war.
• The war may not be won outright this year, but the conditions for victory may well be set in motion. If Western backers provide necessary arms, training, and financing to Ukraine, its military may emerge, by next year, with the upper hand.
• Russia's political goals for Ukraine remain as grandiose as ever, with Putin aiming for regime change in Kyiv, not through force but through weakening Ukraine from within.
