After months of Russian forces making painfully slow gains in Ukraine's east, the focus of the war is moving to the south, where a potentially decisive phase of the conflict will play out.
Ukraine has used long-range artillery and rocket systems, including the American M142 Himars, to halt Russia's grinding advances in the east, destroying ammunition dumps, command-and-control centers and air-defense systems that appear to have limited Moscow's ability to supply its front lines. Now, with the help of these Western weapons, Ukraine says it is mounting a counteroffensive to take back the southern port city of Kherson.
