Ukraine's Zelenskyy says Russia has the initiative in the east but new Western aid is on the way,. Ukraine President  Zelenskyy says his country’s army is facing “a really difficult situation” in eastern regions

Russia has sought to exploit Ukraine's shortages of ammunition and manpower as the flow of Western supplies since the outbreak of the war petered out, assembling large troop concentrations in the east as well as in the north and gaining an edge on the battlefield, Zelenskyy said.

But a massive new U.S. military of US 60 billion aid package has arrived, and it will turn the tide, he said at a news conference in Kyiv with visiting President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola.

“With an increase in the supply of weapons, we will be able to stop them in the east. As of now, they seized the initiative there,” Zelenskyy said.
