CIA Director William Burns has issued a stark warning, asserting that Ukraine may face defeat in its war against Russia by the end of this year if the United States does not step up its military assistance. The dire prediction comes amidst ongoing political debates in the US Congress over a proposed 61 billion USD aid package for Ukraine, predominantly allocated for military support.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that Ukraine will lose its war against Russia if the U.S. Congress does not approve a major military aid package, as Russian forces heighten their pressure on a frontline city.

The Ukraine military acknowledged that the fighting around the frontline city of Chasiv Yar was "difficult" and "tense" but insisted its forces were resisting.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a bill reducing the age for military mobilization by two years, bringing it down from 27 to 25. The move, which came into effect on Wednesday, aims to increase the number of troops available to Ukraine as it faces dire conditions in the war against Russia.

Ukraine experienced another harrowing missile attack from Russia overnight, prompting air alerts across many Ukrainian regions. The Ukrainian air force reported that Tu-95 bombers launched missiles from Russia's Saratov region, targeting several western regions of Ukraine. In the north, Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions were also under attack.

Ukraine has targeted the landing ship "Konstantin Olshansky", previously seized by Russia in 2014, with a Neptune missile, announced Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk this morning. The strike, which renders the ship unfit for combat, marks another successful strike on a Russian naval vessel by the Ukrainian army.

The attacker turned out to be an active serviceman of the Ukrainian army

As an unnamed official of the Russian security services told Sputnik, the commanders of the Ukrainian army are not satisfied with the changes in the military leadership, which is why they are allegedly seriously considering the possibility of overthrowing the Ukrainian president.

Bulgaria has emerged as a key contributor to Ukraine's defense efforts, providing substantial military aid amidst escalating tensions in the region. Outgoing Minister of Defense Todor Tagarev recently disclosed that over 7,000 tons of material resources, including millions of ammunition and over 140 machines, have been extended to Ukraine in support of its security needs.

It is now common knowledge that the Ukrainian army is running out of artillery ammunition and anti-aircraft missiles, and that the aid will not arrive soon, because it is blocked in the Congress, because European politicians are too slow in solving this problem.

As reported by Kyiv Independent, fierce attacks on Crimea, where the Russian Black Sea Fleet is stationed, were carried out during the night, and that report was accompanied by information about several explosions that reverberated on that occupied peninsula.
