After over a year of fighting along the eastern border of Ukraine and with no sign of a ceasefire in sight, the conflict between Ukraine and Russian forces, supported by separatists, shows no end in sight. The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) reported over 19,000 individual military events in the area since the start of the war and the number shows no decrease in intensity.

Fighting has been most intense in the southeastern city of Kherson, with the capital Kyiv seeing much activity around the beginning of the war. Despite Russian retreat from the capital, artillery, shelling and missile attacks still take place in the conflict zone. The use of air and drone strikes by both sides also prove the intensity and modernity of the conflict.

Public sentiment analysis suggests there is no resolvability in sight, with both sides showing no sign of tiring. Ukrainians remain determined to fight and US allies have provided support.
