Kyiv's "Operation Spider Web" showcased Ukraine's military strength by targeting Russian bases, leading to significant damage to strategic bombers. In response, Russia escalated its military efforts, launching a new offensive and increasing drone and missile strikes. Despite the lack of new U.S. aid pledges, experts argue that Ukraine's military capabilities have improved since the onset of the war in February 2022. Ukrainian officials emphasize the unique role of the U.S. in providing military support, warning that a withdrawal would leave a critical gap in resources.
"No one country and even Europe as a whole can fill in the gaps if the United States leaves, will walk away. The United States can't be replaced as a source of military support to Ukraine."
"When you look at the overall picture, I think you have to conclude that Ukraine is stronger today than it was in February of 2022. Ukraine's drone technology, military innovation, and tactics have advanced significantly."
