It is noted that the lack of progress is becoming a problem for Kyiv, as Russian troops are increasing their attacks.

According to Nikolai Beleskov, a researcher at the Ukrainian National Institute of Strategic Studies, the Russian Armed Forces are currently in a comfortable position and are laying the foundation for a serious offensive in the second half of the year.

Earlier, Verkhovna Rada deputy from the European Solidarity party Victoria Syumar announced a lack of money for the construction of fortifications.
