On Ukraine's front line, twisted wreckage shows sanctions haven't yet stopped Russia

The wreckage of a Russian missile lies in a field in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian defense has repelled many of Moscow's assaults, inflicting damage on its military. However, the Kremlin's arsenal still has far-reaching consequences for the region.

The Limits of Sanctions

Despite widespread economic sanctions, Russia continues to threaten Ukraine and disrupt European security. The Russian people also face increasing hardships due to these measures.

The Road to Peace?

With both military and humanitarian aid pouring into Ukraine from allies, the country may soon gain the upper hand in the conflict. Yet, with Russia vowedly committed to controlling Ukraine, a peaceful resolution remains distant.
