When Ukraine’s military is given the weapons it wants, it defeats Russia on the battlefield. That’s the lesson the world discovered because it watched Ukrainian forces shortly retake the Kharkiv area this month. For the reason that starting of September, Ukrainian forces have liberated greater than 2,300 sq. miles of territory within the south and east of the nation.

The invention of additional Russian warfare crimes has darkened the enjoyment of liberation. As in Bucha, Ukrainian forces have uncovered mass graves and proof of torture in Balakliya, Izyum and villages throughout the Kharkiv area and past. The barbarism of the Russian occupation exhibits why the world should assist Ukraine in ending this warfare and bringing these accountable to justice. Ukraine’s allies should guarantee this could by no means occur once more.
