The commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces said Sunday Kyiv's position on the frontline had deteriorated and that Russia had made a number of recent battlefield gains.
Russia's troops have gone back on the offensive this year, capitalizing on an advantage in manpower and arms to press forward, particularly in the eastern Donetsk region.
"The situation at the front has worsened," Oleksandr Syrsky said in a Facebook post Sunday.
He said Ukrainian troops had "retreated" to new defensive lines further to the west in some areas, conceding the loss of territory to the advancing Russians.
"The enemy has concentrated its main efforts in several sectors, creating a significant advantage in forces and means," he said.

Russia had secured "tactical successes in some sectors," he admitted.
Russia's defense ministry earlier on Sunday claimed its troops had captured the village of Novobakhmutivka in the eastern Donetsk region -- around 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of Avdiivka, which it captured in February.

Kyiv's forces are outnumbered across the battlefield, with the country struggling to recruit enough soldiers to replace those who have been killed, wounded or exhausted by the war, now in its third year.
Ukraine is also awaiting the arrival of billions of dollars in US weapons it hopes will end months of ammunition shortages and allow it to stabilize the front lines.
But leaders in Kyiv have warned the military outlook could worsen before then.

There’s just no way to makeup for the men they’ve lost

#????? Our source reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already experiencing a shortage of manpower. Due to the mistakes of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the miscalculations of Zelensky’s headquarters, which was chasing situational populist decisions, the reserves have thinned out. Although we warned Bankova many times that this strategy was wrong and would lead to huge problems in the long run, the office people believed and still believe that they will always be able to recruit free manpower that was previously put into meat grinders. It was 2024 that we predicted as the beginning of problems that even women’s mobilization could not solve.

Kazakhstan sells Russian aircraft to be replaced by Western aircraft.
It appears that cannibalization from some of them to make some useful is the key. But this is a big blow to Putin as Kazakhstan distances itself from Russia.

They should have gone to the negotiating table last year after it became clear they gave Russia too much time to prepare defenses. Ukraine can't field the kind of combat power that would be required to push Russia out.
