Despite Russian attacks, Ukraine is holding the front. In some areas, we are counterattacking and have already recaptured some territories, where we also surrounded and captured significant Russian forces. If Ukraine had enough air defense, drones, and shells today, the situation on the battlefield would be qualitatively different. In any case, today Ukraine has proven what it is capable of.
