The Wall Street Journal's report on Sunday said that Ukrainian soldiers are facing shortages in both ammunition and manpower, compelling them to deploy drone operators and armored vehicle crews to the frontlines in their conflict with Russia.

The report mentioned that due to various issues, including ammunition shortages, Ukraine has been unable to take the offensive on the battlefield. Consequently, they had to transition to a defensive stance after months of counteroffensive operations.

"It's a trench deadlock ... A general offensive is impossible for either side. Neither side can break through," a senior Ukrainian security official was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

Russia's defeat: not expected

Yesterday, EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell remarked that the EU faces several challenges, notably the Ukraine conflict, noting that Russia's defeat in the near term is not anticipated.

"We are facing many problems. Europe is dealing with a double challenge. Firstly, it is Ukraine where Russia's defeat is not expected in the near future," Borrell said in his video address to the congress of the Party of European Socialists.

Even considering this reality, Borrell emphasized the importance of the EU's continued support for Kiev, especially given the probable reduction in aid from the US.

The top EU diplomat highlighted the war on Gaza as the second significant challenge for Europe, attributing it to the "political and moral failure of the international community."

Borrell said that the US now trusts Europe to finance the war in Ukraine.
