Ukrainian servicemen practice combat drills involving a BMP-1 in Donbas, Ukraine as Russia-Ukraine war continues on March 19, 2024.
But, with future aid uncertain, analysts question what "victory" Ukraine could realistically achieve against Russia — a country that has put its industries on a war footing and is able to mobilize hundreds of thousands more men to war.
While additional aid allows Ukraine to keep on fighting Russian forces in the short stretch, a "victory" in the near-term is an unlikely prospect.
What's more, what "victory" looks like for Ukraine, or its allies, could be a source of friction.
This is particularly the case in eastern Ukraine, where it has enjoyed support from pro-Russian separatists for over a decade.
