Ukraine is winning. Here’s what it needs to finish the job.
The article reports on a July 2026 trip to Ukraine by the author and Congressman Michael McCaul, observing that the war is at a turning point. In Pavlohrad, despite daily drone and missile interceptions, civilian life continues with resilience. Ukrainian troops near the front lines have recaptured roughly 500 square kilometers in six months and demonstrated advanced drone capabilities, including the Vampire drone, which can carry four anti-tank mines and make up to 20 flights per day. The manufacturer Skyfall produces nearly 300 such drones daily, enabling the equivalent of 24,000 strikes per day. In Kyiv, officials expressed gratitude for US intelligence support and optimism about recent long-range strikes inside Russia. The article argues Ukraine is winning but needs continued Western support, particularly Patriot missile systems, to sustain momentum and protect civilians.
