Recent Developments in Ukraine
The Ukrainian army announced on Sunday that it hit and damaged the Russian ship ‘Kommunua’ in the city of Sevastopol by the Black Sea. The ‘Kommunua’ was a submarine supply ship that also played a role in rescue operations. The Moscow-appointed governor of the region also reported attacks and fires in Crimea. Russian ballistic missiles were fired at logistics facilities in the Odesa port infrastructure, resulting in four injuries.
Anticipated Escalation
Following the recent aid package approved by the US House of Representatives, there are concerns that Russia may intensify its offensive in the near future. The American-based Institute for the Study of War predicts that Russia will likely take advantage of the narrowing window of Ukrainian material constraints.
