Ukraine's top general says his forces have suffered several setbacks on the battlefield in the war against Russia. In posts made on social media on Sunday, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, said: "The situation on the front has worsened…The enemy has concentrated its main efforts on several areas, creating a significant advantage in forces and resources. The enemy is actively attacking along the entire front line, and making tactical gains in some areas…"
For more on this, we talk to military analyst Franke Ledwidge, who just returned from Ukraine.

promised support was held back by US republicans for nearly 3/4 of a year so eventually that shows when munitions run dry and it will take still some more time for the by now apporpriated support to reach the frontlines. Meanwhile russia adpated a war time economy and if the west does not account for that and therefor also keeps up support or rather increases that support, the war may get lost for Ukrain. Otherwise purely from production capabilities, the west is a deeper well, but to draw from it would also mean consequences for the populations in the west which of cause for a pampered populace may seem inconvenient. edit: grammar

The real news is: 47th mechanized brigade left its frontline positions because they werent rotated out for a year, Russians noticed the gaps on the frontline, and made a 6 km advance, capturing Ocheretine in a few hours, blocking any traffic towards the south. That made the 115th mechanized brigade's position untenable since they were surrounded, so they had to evacuate Berdichi. Ukraine has to retreat 10 kilometers towards the next potential natural barrier. North of that position in Krasnokhorivka two columns of tanks and troop carriers made a 4 km rush towards the town, and deployed assault squads on the southern outskirts, which almost instantly captured those positions. By seeing the success Russians sent a constant cycling of troop carriers and sent four tanks which rushed in the streets of the city and spotted the potential Ukrainian troop concentrations. Where they found some the troops were directed there, so they took 3/4 of the town by the end of the day.

Ukraine has stopped issuing new passports to some military-aged men living abroad as part of a bid to pressure them to return home to fight. The move is temporary and comes the day after the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry suspended consular services for men from 18 to 60 years old. Long queues formed at passport offices in European countries after Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced the measures. The limits come shortly after Ukraine adopted a new, stricter mobilization policy to shore up forces amid gains by Russia on the battlefield.

There exists no conceivable scenario in which Russia relinquishes control of Crimea and the Donbas region. The provision of NATO-led weaponry by the US will not bolster Ukraine's position; rather, it will inevitably lead to further casualties on the battlefield during the interim. It is imperative to pursue a negotiated settlement without delay. Failure to do so risks the West's unwavering support for Ukraine, at the cost of lives on the battlefield.

Very interesting, if Ukraine have had enough men to fight. Maybe they wouldn't make new rules for all the Ukrainian men that are living abroad. On April 23, 2024 a new rule was put out on Ukrainian embassy website. Ukraine has stopped issuing new passports to some military-aged men living abroad as part of a bid to pressure them to return home to fight. The move is temporary and comes the day after the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry suspended consular services for men from 18 to 60 years old. Long queues formed at passport offices in European countries after Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced the measures. The limits come shortly after Ukraine adopted a new, stricter mobilization policy to shore up forces amid gains by Russia on the battlefield.

He wanted to retreat its forces near the capital to concentrate their defenses and to coordinate better the units, to which Zelinsky did not agree. Instead of studying the assessment, he replaced the minister of defense.
