The Pentagon estimates that Ukraine has enough soldiers to fight for another 6-12 months, but may face a shortage of resources in the future, although Russia also faces a shortage of soldiers and equipment, UNN reports with reference to The New York Times.
Pentagon officials also reported that Ukraine had deployed some of its newly created brigades to support operations in the Kursk region, instead of their original purpose of protecting the eastern and southern regions or forming reserves for an expected counteroffensive in 2025.
According to Western officials and experts, Russia's shortage of soldiers and resources has also increased, and its gains in the war have come at a very high price.
If U.S. support for Ukraine remains at a high level through next summer, Kyiv will be able to take advantage of Russia's weakening and its expected shortage of soldiers and equipment, U.S. officials say.
Russian forces, which repeatedly failed at the start of the invasion in 2022, have evolved and, in the words of a senior U.S. military official, are now "on the move.
