The newly granted permission by the United States and other allies to use Western weapons to strike inside Russia has had a huge impact, Bankir said. While Kyiv hasn’t managed to reclaim large swathes of territory, it has successfully averted what could have been a disaster: The occupation of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second city. “(Russia) knew that Ukraine did not have the capacity to strike these targets on the Russian territory,” Melnyk said. While Ukraine was previously able to strike targets inside Russia using Ukraine-made drones, ATACMS make these strikes far more efficient. However, Ukraine can still use the F-16 to deny Russia control over the skies – and push away Russian aircraft delivering bombs.

The relatively small town of Chasiv Yar has played an outsized role in the conflict and has been battered by months of intense fighting. The Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday that its troops have taken over the easternmost district of Chasiv Yar. Medics prepare for transportation of a wounded Ukrainian serviceman inside a medical stabilization point near Chasiv Yar on July 1, 2024. Vadym Filashkin, the head of Donetsk regional military administration, said in May that some 679 civilians were still in Chasiv Yar, refusing to evacuate their homes. If Chasiv Yar was to fall to Russian hands, it could put bigger cities to the west at risk.

But the Kremlin still doesn’t seem confident that its military can hold back a Ukrainian counteroffensive ahead of winter. The head of the Moscow-appointed regional administration, Vladimir Saldo, without using the word “evacuation,” asked Moscow Thursday to welcome families from the Kherson region that want “to protect themselves” from what he described as constant Ukrainian shelling. The Kremlin promptly agreed to support such efforts, with officials in the southern Russian region of Rostov saying the first arrivals were expected Friday, the state news agency Tass reported. Kyiv has been striking Russian military sites and installations in the region for several months, according to its defense officials, as it prepared for its long-touted counteroffensive there. “If Kherson falls, there will be a moment in which potentially there may be further breakthroughs by Ukraine,” Mevin said.
