In recent months, Ukrainian forces have been slowly retreating in the eastern Donbas region amid excruciating losses... because of dire shortages of ammunition and manpower.
For the first time since the war began in February 2022, fewer than half - 45 percent 60 - of Ukrainians believe that their nation could return to its borders before the 2014 annexation of Crimea, according to a survey by Rating.
At the time, Ukraine was riding high on the success of its counteroffensive in the fall of 2022... But the counteroffensive's failure filled Ukrainians with pessimism especially in Russian-occupied areas.
No one is coming to the rescue, there's no way we can become part of Ukraine again, Halyna, who lives in the town of Henichesk in the southern region of Kherson that has been occupied since March 2022, told Al Jazeera.
