According to Ukraine, Russian military equipment was destroyed in Makiivka.

Without elaborating, the general staff of the Ukrainian armed forces claims that an attack in Makiivka damaged or destroyed up to 10 pieces of Russian military hardware.

The Ukrainian military acknowledged conducting "a strike on Russian manpower and military assets" in a rare admission of guilt.

The assault came after a flurry of assaults on Ukrainian cities. It should be recalled that the Russian occupants used the Shahed-136 UAV to launch 27 airstrikes against civilian infrastructure. In a post on social media, the military said that all of these drones had been shot down.

Is it becoming increasingly unlikely for either Russia or Ukraine to completely win the Ukraine war as it enters a "hurting stalemate"?

In order to prevent the conflict from becoming a "long war," Stephen Walt, a professor of international affairs at Harvard University, contends that Kyiv and Moscow would soon need to make "awkward and painful" concessions.

He claims that many Americans still think the struggle can have a certain "Hollywood ending," despite the fact that, as we have seen with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this rarely occurs in actuality. He makes this claim to host Steve Clemons.
