US newspaper says Ukraine's defense line could be broken by summer 2024
(Baonghean.vn) - According to Politico, Russia has "never been closer to its target" in the area where it is deploying special military operations.

TASS news agency reported on April 17 that Politico recently quoted a number of senior officials as saying that the defense line that Ukraine has maintained for many months in the area where the special military operation is being carried out could be broken this summer.
According to the newspaper, Ukraine's defenses could collapse this summer due to a Russian offensive, as Russian forces significantly outnumber Ukrainian forces. The newspaper's sources said the situation is complicated by a lack of Western weapons, which is undermining the morale of Ukrainian soldiers.
Politico said Ukrainian officials “quietly accept that further territorial losses are inevitable this summer,” the question is how big they will be.
According to the newspaper's assessment, Russia "has never been closer to its goals" in the area of special military operations.
