"Ukraine's Defense Against Russia's New Offensive"

As Russia continues its attacks, Ukraine is urgently trying to dig enough trenches for defense while also appealing for air defenses, specifically Patriot missiles, from its allies. The country is facing a soldier shortage as the initial surge of volunteers has diminished over the years of conflict. Additionally, a recent terror attack claimed by the Islamic State has sparked a blame game between Moscow and Kyiv.
