SUMY, Ukraine — It’s been more than three weeks since foreign troops swept into Russia for the first time since World War II, yet there is little sign that Ukrainian forces are about to be driven back across the border. The Ukrainian advance may have stalled since the daring Aug. 6 assault, but Kyiv claims it controls nearly 500 square miles of Russian territory and has taken hundreds of prisoners of war.
Ukraine briefed its allies on the aims of its offensive during a NATO-Ukraine Council meeting Wednesday, said a Western diplomat who did not want to be named given the sensitivity of the matter. Several allies called for all restrictions on how Ukraine can use Western-supplied weapons inside Russia to be lifted, the diplomat said, signaling some allies disagree with Washington’s approach that Kyiv feels has constrained its ability to take the fight to the Kremlin.
