Largest armed conflict in Europe since WW2 rages on, with Russia so far failing to completely achieve its goals, and Kiev, despite receiving billions in military packages from Western allies, unable to dislodge Russian troops from its territory.

Thursday marks 800 days since Russia launched its full-scale attack on Ukraine. Moscow called it a"special operation" against Kiev, and the general opinion when the Russia n troops entered Ukraine in February 2022 was that Moscow would prevail quickly and defeat Kiev, but that hasn't happened.

The incidents"are part of an intensifying campaign of activities" Russia is carrying out across the Euro-Atlantic area and NATO allies"express their deep concern over Russia's hybrid actions, which constitute a threat to allied security", NATO said in a statement. "The enemy is actively attacking along the entire front line, and in several directions, they have achieved certain tactical advances," he said on national television. "The situation is changing dynamically."French President Emmanuel Macron said the question of sending Western troops to Ukraine would"legitimately" arise if Russia broke through the Ukrainian front lines and Kiev made such a request, in an interview with the Economist.

Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Russia has intensified strikes on Ukraine's infrastructure to hamper Kiev's ability to move arms and troops, slow defence production and force it to consider negotiations. "However, Russia has said repeatedly and also publicly that it has no interest in participating in this first summit. Switzerland is convinced that Russia must be involved in this process. A peace process without Russia is unthinkable."Russia has said it had captured another village in eastern Ukraine northwest of Avdiivka, where Moscow's forces have been making advances for days.

This spring, Russia has intensified its strikes on Ukraine's civilian and energy infrastructure as Kiev awaited additional help from its allies and its air defences were stretched thin. Moscow says it strikes only legitimate military targets.The US has sanctioned 31 Chinese companies among its 200 targets over Russia’s war in Ukraine.

“It's necessary to increase the pace of building fortifications … so that when we retreat, we will retreat to a prepared position," said Batyar, a unit commander who gave only his military call sign in line with brigade protocols."These fortifications are not enough.”
