Ukraine has welcomed a vote by US lawmakers to resume urgently needed military assistance. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the 61 billion dollar aid package gives his troops a real chance at victory on the battlefield.

Part of what Zelenskyy will use these American funds for, is fortifying Ukraine's borders. Drone technology has dramatically changed the battle for the skies and sea but on Ukraine's land border with Russia, the country's armed forces are focused on a far more traditional form of defense against a looming Russian offensive.

Where we have gone as a humanity is abysmal. Still the same story again and again for thousands of years. Just the tech is different.

It is NOT a "stale-mate" at all - because Ukraine has been LOSING territory and already LOST 500, 000 men since last year's summer counter offensive which also FAILED and LOST most - if not ALL the supposedly mighty US and German tanks they had.
