Ukraine's Military Adjusts Strategy Amid Ammo Shortages

On day 664 of the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukraine's Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief stated that the front line situation was not at a stalemate and declined to comment on future counteroffensive operations. Front-line troops faced shortages of artillery shells and had scaled back some military operations due to a shortfall of foreign assistance. President Zelenskyy's decision to fire regional military draft office chiefs was criticized by the Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief. President Zelenskyy expressed hope that new EU sanctions on Russia would reduce its ability to finance the invasion. The US and Denmark pledged further military aid to Ukraine, with President Biden planning another aid package and the Danish government setting aside funds to help finance the donation of armored combat vehicles.
