The Latest on Russia's War in Ukraine.

Russia's military offensive in eastern Ukraine has made little progress, with only three small settlements and part of Bakhmut under its control. Despite mobilizing more troops and firepower, Russia has struggled to capture urban areas and faces a well-prepared Ukrainian defense. The prolonged and bloody fight for Bakhmut has depleted the supply of prisoner recruits for the Wagner private military company, forcing it to use more professional recruits. Ukraine's military is poised to launch a major counteroffensive this spring, but faces persistent ammunition shortages.
