Update on the conflict in Ukraine for May 19, 2024...
- Russia has opened an extensive front in the Kharkov region, retaking territory lost during Ukraine's 2022 fall offensive;
- Ukraine is already suffering from a large and expanding strategic dilemma where its forces are overstretched and defense lines are collapsing;
- The opening of a new front places further pressure on Ukrainian forces, compelling Ukraine’s military leadership to exhaust what remains of their reserves;
- The only way to stop or reverse the course of the conflict in Ukraine now is for an extensive US-NATO intervention, though Western forces themselves will suffer from the same shortages their Ukrainian proxies now face;
