We congratulate Ukrainian Ambassador Vasyl Myroshnychenko on his compelling opinion piece in The Australian last week — a perceptive, clear-eyed assessment of where russia’s war in Ukraine truly stands.
The Ambassador identifies four key factors behind Ukraine’s reclaimed military initiative:
Battlefield gains – Ukraine is retaking occupied territory for the first time since 2024, halting russia’s spring offensive in its tracks.
Attrition – Ukraine has neutralised more russian combatants than russia can recruit monthly, with 35,000 killed or wounded in April alone.
Long-range drones – Ukrainian long-range strikes now reach St Petersburg, targeting oil infrastructure and imposing real economic costs on Moscow.
Technological edge – Now the world’s largest drone manufacturer, Ukraine is innovating faster than russia and sharing lessons with allies, including Australia.
Essential reading for anyone wanting a better understanding of how Ukraine has successfully gained momentum against russian aggression. 
Slava Ukraini!
