The last few weeks have been an intense time for Ukrainians. On the diplomatic front, we have the United States first withdrawing and then reinstating military and intelligence aid. Europe has begun to rally together out of the threat of facing Russia without America's help. There is a ceasefire proposal that Ukraine accepted but Russia rejected.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Ukrainian army is withdrawing from its positions in the Kursk region of Russia while beating back the Russian advance in multiple locations along the front, including in Pokrovsk.

This was a general Q&A to make sense of what has been an extremely eventful few weeks.
