On February 24, 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine officially began – despite the tensions that had already been recorded in previous weeks; an operation orchestrated by Vladimir Putin that has led to a war that, to this day, almost two years later, continues. After thousands of deaths, a critical situation for the civilian population and the desolation of a country that has not stopped suffering bombings and ground attacks, The future of this conflict does not seem to be clear at all.

This has been recognized by Ukrainian military sources to laSexta, a chain to which they have confessed that the mood is not good in the face of facing the invasion in 2024. It is worth remembering that last year, precisely around this time, there was a lot of hope among the authorities and Ukrainian troops due to the evolution of the war on the ground, with a relatively positive scenario for the invaded country. FIt was in the fall of 2022 when Ukraine made a lot of progress and recovered much of the land in the north and south; in Kharkiv and in Kherson.

Among the Ukrainian soldiers and senior commanders there were many hopes placed on 2023 precisely due to the reconquest of the land that had taken place in the previous months, but This desired scenario has not been fulfilled. That is, the Ukrainian counteroffensive did not advance as expected. Now, compared to what happened at the end of 2022 and throughout this year, for 2024 there is above all concern. In material terms, everything indicates that Russia will maintain the advantage in the conflict.

Such is the situation right now that dFrom the Ukrainian side there is much more talk now about defensive operations and the importance of building infrastructure to withstand the Russian attacks that will continue to take place in the coming months. Perhaps in response to what appears to be a crucial moment in the war, the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has traveled to the United States with the intention of persuading Republican congressmen to support the new aid proposal for Ukraine.

A proposal valued at more than 60 billion dollars that was presented by the president of the United States, Joe Biden, Zelensky’s main ally in the war and with whom, preciselythe Ukrainian leader will meet with the aim of strengthening that alliance. For now, the Kremlin has limited itself to saying that “the billions of dollars invested in Ukraine have not been successful on the battlefield,” and they believe that the other funds destined for Kyiv’s military needs will suffer the same fate. .
