KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — An emboldened Russia has ramped up military offensives on two fronts in Ukraine, scattering Kyiv’s precious reserve troops and threatening to expand the fighting to a new Ukrainian region as each side seeks an advantage before the fighting season wanes in the autumn.

Moscow's forces made gains in the Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

Kyiv time on June 30, a total of 111 combat engagements had taken place on the front line over the day, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The heaviest fighting was reported in the Pokrovsk direction.

Analysts say Ukraine’s European allies can fill some of the gaps and provide artillery systems. But they don’t possess alternatives to the U.S.-made HIMARS missiles and air defense systems, especially Patriots, which are crucial to help defend Ukrainian cities.

Gen. H.R. McMaster (Ret.) joins the ‘Brian Kilmeade Show’ to discuss the U.S. decision to pause some weapons deliveries to Ukraine and why he believes Russian president Vladimir Putin is intensifying his campaign.
