Bakhmut, Ukraine: A City Under Siege by Russian Forces

Ukrainian forces defending the city of Bakhmut are struggling to maintain their position against Russian advances due to a shortage of ammunition and reliance on older, Soviet-era weaponry. Despite recent arrivals of modern weapons, Ukraine is still heavily reliant on its older arsenal and is calling for more weapons and ammunition to prepare for a major offensive. However, Ukraine fears that if their actions on the battlefield are not decisive this year, Western support may falter.
