The United States and Ukraine appear to have reached a preliminary consensus on a natural resources deal. While details remain undisclosed, Ukraine has much to offer.

Three years into Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s Air Force has shot down 26,525 Russian missiles, drones, and aircraft—and it’s still not enough.

Despite Russia’s overwhelming economic and military advantage, Ukrainians have adapted and held their ground for three years against Moscow’s relentless full-scale invasion.

Russia’s blitzkrieg, meant to crush Ukraine in days in February 2022, has dragged into a grueling war that’s draining Moscow’s economy, costing nearly a million soldiers, and exposing the cracks in its so-called “second-best army in the world.” Ukraine is the reason why.

We have illustrated the progression of the full-scale war, now in its third year, through detailed maps. These visuals help us better understand how the war is evolving and how Ukraine continues to resist the aggressor despite Russia's vast resources.

Ukraine is forming a new military unit known as the Drone Line, designed to harness the country’s battlefield experience with drones and UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) to deliver enhanced support for infantry units.
