Exhaustion from ongoing fighting has pushed Ukraine to intensify efforts to rebuild its frontline strength ahead of a planned counteroffensive, according to a Kyiv-focused briefing. The report notes that Kiev is racing to replenish an army worn down by months of heavy losses and long stretches of near-stalemate on the eastern front.
