Ukrainian forces, led by Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, have been compelled to retreat from several villages in the east, including Semenivka, due to intensified Russian military advances. The retreats include areas around Avdiivka and Ocheretyne, where Russian troops have captured strategic positions. Concurrently, Ukraine is negotiating a long-term security agreement with the U.S., aiming to secure a decade of support to bolster its defense capabilities amidst receiving $61 billion in U.S. military aid. This comes as Kyiv's troops face a worsening situation on the battlefield, underscored by their tactical withdrawals and the urgent need for the upcoming U.S. military aid.
