aid bill for Ukraine can be felt on the battlefield.Chasiv Yar, a town in Donetsk Oblast, remains one of Russia's key targets as it could facilitate further advances toward the nearby cities of Kostiantynivka, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk, the Ukrainian military said.Russian forces want to capture Chasiv Yar by May 9, in time for the celebration of cult-like Victory Day in Russia. Pavliuk believes that it will not happen."We are trying everything we can do to stop the Russian plan to capture Chasiv Yar before May 9," the commander said."But the Russians have a 10-to-one ratio of artillery superiority there, and total air superiority," Pavliuk added.The commander hopes that fresh billions in U.S. military aid, which had been stalled for nearly seven months, will impact the Ukrainian battlefield.
