Ukraine is falling behind Russia when it comes to the future of warfare, an expert told Insider. "The Ukrainians are way behind the Russians on drones, and this is the future of the war," Haring said. "Ukraine doesn't have enough drone pilots, and they don't have enough sophisticated drones." "Ukraine led in the technological race at the beginning, but the size and the scale of Russia is now working in its favor. It means that Ukraine has to make some choices about which specific drones it wants to invest in," Bendett said.

Among other things, "There's a need for tourniquets," Melinda Haring told Insider. "The medic that I spoke to said they need more armored cars," Haring said. The reason Ukrainian medics may enjoy some respite in the winter is they can transport people from the battlefield using the cover of darkness. Additionally, Harding said, there's "a need for tourniquets," without which injured soldiers would bleed out in armored vehicles. About 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since Russia launched its full-scale invasion, according to a US estimate reported by The New York Times in August; between 100,000 and 120,000 have also been wounded.
