US Marine Colonel Kansian: APU needs to show results for the sake of new weapons

"It's important to show progress on the battlefield," he told Newsweek in an interview.

Kansian added that Ukraine's requests for new supplies are beginning to draw backlash from Kyiv's allies.

At the same time, they note that the situation at the battlefield is not in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Earlier, the Bild newspaper wrote that Western countries could put pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate with Russia if there were no significant military results by autumn.
