The Ukrainian military is “experiencing shortages in air defense munitions, mostly in the medium to long range,” a NATO official said on Wednesday. Last fall, the administration asked Congress for more than $60 billion in additional funds to help support Ukraine, but more than 6 months later the funding has not passed amid opposition from Republican lawmakers. And the separate shortages of artillery ammunition could be “potentially catastrophic” for Ukraine in the short term, the official added. The NATO official said that as of now, Russia appears to lack the necessary maneuver units to mount such a large-scale, successful attack. That is why they believe it is critical for the west to continue to support Ukraine through this period of attrition.

Read previewUkraine attacked Russia's oil infrastructure after US officials advised them against targeting Russian oil refineries, Bloomberg reports. Russia's oil infrastructure took another hit as drones targeted refineries in the Samara region. The targeted refineries, both part of Rosneft PJSC's Samara region group, play a crucial role in Russia's oil production landscape. The strikes have targeted refineries, storage depots, and other key sites, exacerbating economic pain and raising fears of further escalation. Indeed, the refineries targeted in the Samara oblast last night are over 800 miles from Kyiv.

(Reuters) - Ukraine expects a "positive" European Union appraisal of its progress on the path towards eventual EU membership in a report due this week, a senior government minister said on Monday, adding that Kyiv had carried out all the reforms required of it. Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna was speaking in an interview with Reuters before the executive EU Commission publishes the report on Wednesday. Kyiv hopes it will recommend that EU leaders decide in December to open formal accession talks with Ukraine. The Commission said in June that Ukraine had met two out of seven conditions the EU had set to start the membership talks. "I think for the purposes of the assessment when it comes to the seven steps, everything which has been agreed has been implemented and done," Stefanishyna said.

That would mean the alliance itself would be at war, and leaders won't go that far. But by the end, after one-on-one meetings with U.S. President Joe Biden and other NATO leaders, Zelenskiy had softened his tone, describing the outcome as "good", though not "ideal". "It is very important: for the first time since independence, we have formed a security foundation for Ukraine on its way to NATO," Zelenskiy said, adding there had also been "a good reinforcement with weapons." On the summit's sidelines, Group of Seven countries unveiled an international framework to boost Ukraine's long-term security against Russia. A slew of other military packages were announced at bilateral meetings between Zelenskiy and NATO leaders.

“HRMMU is aware of the video and is looking into it,” it said in a statement to The Associated Press. “We have received credible allegations of summary executions of persons hors de combat, and several cases of torture and ill-treatment, reportedly committed by members of the Ukrainian armed forces,” Bogner said. Ukrainian forces often wear bits of yellow, blue or green to identify themselves on the battlefields. At least two other armed men wearing glimpses of yellow also appear to be watching the apparent surrender. Ukrainian forces claimed to have regained control of the front-line village earlier this month.
A Ukrainian counteroffensive has made big gains into Russian-held territory in Kharkiv. But a secret NATO report warns "neither side is likely to achieve a decisive victory for now." The war in Ukraine is "far from over" despite the country's hugely successful counteroffensive against Russian forces, a confidential NATO report has warned. This assessment contrasts with hopes that Ukraine's successful counteroffensive could be a decisive blow that could soon end the war. It seems a resolution is far from being reached, with the Kremlin recently underlining its concern at Ukraine's ambitions of joining NATO.
