Ukraine\u2019s leadership says it can regain the initiative on the front despite Russia\u2019s large-scale air strikes. Kyiv has expanded long-range drone and precision-strike capabilities to pressure Russian forces and the defense and energy sectors, but internal strains\u2014from corruption and population loss to economic exhaustion\u2014are mounting.<\/p>\n

On May 27 (local time), The Economist and Reuters reported that President Volodymyr Zelensky asked the United States for air-defense support\u2014including Patriot interceptors\u2014shortly after Russia\u2019s latest large-scale strikes. He described Russia\u2019s ballistic missiles as President Vladimir Putin\u2019s last major battlefield advantage and said neutralizing that capability would increase pressure on Moscow to negotiate.<\/p>\n

Andriy Biletsky, commander of the 3rd Corps defending a key Donetsk sector, told Reuters that the coming six months will be a turning point. If Ukrainian forces halt further Russian breakthroughs and seize the initiative on the front, he said, Kyiv will be in a stronger position in any future talks.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian forces have used long-range drones to strike refineries and munitions factories inside Russia, including an attack on the Kremniy El plant, which produces microchips used in Russian ballistic missiles. Reuters estimates that refineries which have shut down or cut output after recent Ukrainian drone strikes account for about 83 million tonnes per year\u2014roughly 25% of Russia\u2019s refining capacity.<\/p>\n

Alongside Ukraine\u2019s improving warfighting capabilities, longer-term risks are becoming clearer. The country\u2019s labor force has fallen from roughly 17 million before the war to about 12 million.<\/p>\n

Corruption allegations tied to figures close to President Zelensky have also strained national unity. Former presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak was detained on money-laundering charges linked to a housing development and released on bail. Ukraine\u2019s prosecutors are also investigating alleged energy-sector kickbacks involving Zelensky\u2019s former business partner Timur Mindich.<\/p>\n

The Economist concluded that Ukraine is likely to endure the war but warned that wartime corruption, centralization of power and militarism are testing the resilience of its democracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
