Russia has intensified its offensive in Donbas, making significant gains over the past month. The recent capture of Ocheretyne follows the fall of Avdiivka in February, with Russian forces advancing westwards. Ukraine s defence ministry reported 125 Russian attacks along the front line in 24 hours, with a focus on Ocheretyne and Chasiv Yar. While there have been no major breakthroughs, the advance has surprised Ukraine and led to criticism within the country. Ukraine has warned of ammunition shortages, despite Western aid approval, which could take two months to materialize.
