Ukraine slows enemy advances, liberates land, drains Russia’s war chest

Ukraine has significantly devastated Russia's oil export capacity over the past week as its ground forces have halted Russian advances and reclaimed occupied territory. According to one estimate, Ukraine has halved the Russian rate of advance in the past three months. At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has concluded agreements with several Gulf states to export Ukrainian drone know-how in return for joint drone production support.
