Russian Army Strengthens Presence in Ukraine Despite NATO Support

The Russian army in Ukraine is larger than when the invasion began in February 2022, but remains vulnerable to a Kyiv counteroffensive expected in the coming weeks, according to NATO's top commander. The United States and allies have already provided 98% of the artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles Kyiv said it needs to launch the counteroffensive. The Ukrainians "have to be better than the Russian force they will face" when and where they will strike. NATO has been successful so far in not escalating the war.
