The Lane Tech Champion

The negative impact summer homework has on students

By Saskia McDonogh Mooney September 30, 2021

More stories from Saskia McDonogh Mooney

All year long, students look forward to each day off they have — it’s their reward for working during the week. No break, however, is more greatly anticipated than the summer. During this time, students recharge in whatever way they deem effective, even if it doesn’t necessarily align with standard practice. Ultimately though, each person feels fresh by the time school rolls around. This way they are fully prepared to soak up new information and learn.

And yet, that is not necessarily the case at Lane Tech. This is because of the summer homework that looms in the back of people’s minds.

While it may be argued that it allows for some teachers to hit the ground running with their lessons, as students already have material prepared, it may also be argued that it drains them before the year even starts.

“I don’t know if I’m going to be very motivated during the school year,”

 said freshman Nadia Brasseur, Div. 573, when discussing the effects doing summer homework have had on her.

The summer homework is her first introduction to the school. It creates a negative connotation associated with school for her: stress. 

This is in stark contrast to her sister Cecilia Brasseur, a junior at Northside, where they do not assign summer work.

“It makes me feel less stressed before the school year, especially starting a new school year after COVID,” she said.

Many other selective enrollment high schools, including Northside and Walter Payton, have removed summer homework from their curriculum, and as Cecilia implies, their students thank them for it.

Denise Pope, senior lecturer at the Stanford University School of Education, argues in an interview to Greatschools.org, that while she believes three months is too long a period to go without stimulation for students, she does not believe summer homework works either.

“There’s not a buy-in from the [kids],” Pope writes. “In order for any learning to be retained, there has to be engagement on the part of the students.” 

This argument is mirrored in Nadia’s apprehension before the school year even started — her ability to be engaged is already waning. 

“It’s going to be stressful,” she said.

Nadia may be prepared for class with the right materials, but not the right mindset. It is not her fault; the blame lies in the existence of summer assignments.

However, there is the Mackenzie report to contend with.

In the article “ The School Kids Are Not Alright ” by the New York Times Editorial Board, the author references the Mackenzie report, which is a comprehensive look at education during the pandemic. They relay that all students, particularly students of color, are behind the recommended levels of learning during a normal school year.

Information like this does make the arguments for teachers that students need work over the summer to prepare them for the school year.

Yet, it discourages students from engagement, participation, and excitement from the start, all of which are essential in creating a classroom environment that is viable for learning and growth.

As well as that, this school year is not normal. The COVID pandemic is still a threat to the well being of our entire school, and presents a dark cloud looking over the bustling halls and full classrooms that are a foreign experience after the past year and a half. 

The constant adjustments students are making in the school environment are enough stress without the added burden of summer work. 

Last school year, despite feeling like a haze, I felt safe. Now this may seem impossible because there was a pandemic, which did not make anyone feel existentially safe whatsoever. But being in my room that I curated for my comfort, doing school work at my own pace, making myself good meals during school, and being able to pet my dog, I felt comfortable. I was able to detach myself from the world falling apart outside and just exist in my little bubble.

But this year, on the first day of school, I was completely uprooted. While I did go back in person last year, there were barely any people and it was the end of the school year which made it much more laid back. However, on August 30, 2021, I spent the whole day in shock. I got home and all I could do was lie down and eventually shower in an attempt to ground myself. I had been completely overloaded by the number of people, how apparent it was that social distancing was impossible, and my classes being treated exactly the same as they were freshman year. As if the spread of COVID was not an ever present threat, made to feel even more present by the human traffic jams at stairwells H and O.

The summer homework said to students that teachers would be acting as if this was a normal school year. This approach does not take into consideration that many students are unprepared from last year to learn this year, like they would have had to before the pandemic hit. 

This discourages engagement because it makes the students, myself included, feel like our true needs are not seen. That teachers and administrators do not understand the emotional turmoil that happened for every single person I know during the pandemic, and that healing from that experience, which we are technically still living through, is a process that will take a very long time. 

So, when discussing with friends, everyone was a little surprised, baffled even, that they were in fact assigning summer homework.  

I know, and I am sure that my peers know as well, that teachers and administrators also have been through so much recently as well. It was a communal experience, yet that sense of community is not being felt now. Personally, I believe that the past should not be swept under the rug. That as much as possible, teachers and administrators should discuss with students how they are feeling about this school year, and share their own feelings, in order for everyone to be better prepared for success. 

Because if neither side understands the other, a disconnect has formed that makes it so much more difficult to listen and engage, and through that, teach.

If students had been eased into this school year, meaning no summer homework and addressing that this year is not like that of years past, there would be no disconnect.

With that in mind as well, this year should not be treated akin to those before the pandemic, for the benefit of the students. Yet, this year’s summer homework contradicted that before the year even started.

So, if teachers and administrators want fresh minds and motivation from students, not infringing on their one period of extended free time, there should be no homework over summer break.

16 tips for a summer reading challenge for kids.

• May 16, 2024

Summer is the perfect time to take a spin on traditional classroom reading activities. If you are looking to host a summer reading challenge for kids or simply want to share ideas for families to try out this summer, I have you covered. Today on the blog, we’ll look at over a dozen tips and a handful of favorite EdTech tools. 

How can you use this list of tips for summer reading challenges for kids? All the activities below are ready for you to customize for your students . You might tweak a few and then share the complete list with families. 

Alternatively, if you send out a weekly newsletter before or during summer break, you might choose to share just one or two of the ideas below each week.

Finding the Perfect Book Match

Before diving into this list of tips for a summer reading challenge for kids, let’s start with the most important part: finding books kids will love ! 

Here are a few ideas to help them discover new favorites:

• Tap into their interests: Encourage families to ask questions like, “What do you want to learn more about?” This can help narrow down topics, particularly for informational text like dinosaurs or space.
• Consider different genres: If students show an interest in a particular genre, such as mysteries, find books that match those interests and share a list with families before the summer break.
• Encourage a visit to your local library: Librarians are amazing at recommending books and often host summer reading programs. You might send home information to families about a local library so they can decide if they’d like to carve out time to explore a new space.

16 Tech-Infused Summer Reading Challenge Tips

Listen to audiobooks  .

Check out audiobooks from your library using apps like Libby or Hoopla . These are great for travel or when kids want to read but need a hands-free option. I’ve been a longtime fan of Audible, but this year, I tried out the audiobooks on Spotify . I pay for Spotify premium for music listening, and I was very surprised at just how many titles they offer for free as part of the premium package.

Track books with a digital reading log  

Use Google Sheets or a reading log app like Bookly to track book titles, authors, and page counts. Instead of feeling punitive, you might celebrate reading progress at the end of each week or talk about reading goals alongside a log.

Create book trailers  

After finishing a book, encourage designing a fun book trailer using apps like iMovie or Adobe Express. I’ve shared a handful of posts on the blog that feature video activities, including this one with tips for using the animated feature in Adobe Express.

Host a virtual book club  

Connect with friends via Zoom or Google Meet to discuss favorite books and characters. Even if a group of kids is of different ages or have different interests in reading materials, they can still share favorites and talk about a love of reading.

Write an alternate ending  

Spark kids’ creativity by having them write an alternative ending (or even a new chapter!) to a book they loved. If you work at home over the summer, you might recommend digital tools to families that students have already tried out during the school year. For example, if you participated in Be An Author Month this year, you might recommend a familiar tool like Book Creator to families. 

Search for the setting 

Encourage students to explore the setting of a story through Google Maps or look at a virtual reality-friendly site like Google Arts and Culture . If the setting of the book isn’t very common, you might head to a tool like 360cities.net, which has oodles of content to sort through.

Create the setting

This year on the blog, I’ve shared lots of ideas for using AI, including how to use AI to generate images . You might suggest families explore a tool like Adobe Firefly to generate images together. Then, they can write a prompt together to create an image that represents the setting of their book.

Connect with the author online  

Encourage families to check the author’s website or social media. Some authors love interacting with young readers and post content that compliments their most popular books.

Listen to an interview

I’m a big fan of podcasts ( here is a blog post with a selection of favorites ), and you might find an interview with a favorite kid-friendly author. Authors tend to jump around on different podcasts to promote their books, particularly if they have a new book coming out.

Make a digital character sketch  

Ask students to use a drawing app like Sketchbook or Procreate to illustrate their favorite character and include personality traits. They can also use a tool that includes simple drawing tools like Seesaw or Book Creator.

Design a book cover  

There are lots of graphic design tools that have templates for students, including templates for book covers. Encourage kids to let their imagination go wild as they create a new cover design for a book they enjoyed. Canva and Adobe Express both have great templates for book covers.

Create a soundtrack  

I’ve shared lots of favorite AI tools with educators in my AI in Education Membership , and one favorite is MusicFX. With this Google tool, you can create music based on a text prompt. One part of a summer reading challenge for kids might include having them compose a soundtrack. They can use a generative AI tool and only a text-based prompt.

Record a book review podcast  

In addition to having students listen to podcasts about books, as I mentioned earlier, you might ask them to plan and record a short podcast-style book review as part of a summer reading challenge. Plenty of kid-friendly tools are available, including Soundtrap for Education and the iPad app GarageBand . If you’re looking for something even simpler, you might ask them to record audio notes in Book Creator .

Create an “About the Author” presentation  

Does your summer reading challenge includes a component where students must read more than one book from the same author? You might encourage them to create an “About the Author” presentation . 

Turn the book into a comic  

Students can use a comic creation tool like Storyboard That . Or they can use popular tools like Google Slides , which are perfect for this type of activity. If you’d like to try out a few templates for comic books, head to the Free Stuff section of my site, where you’ll find lots of downloads to choose from.

Play a book-themed trivia game  

I love a trivia game, and I grew up in a house where we watched Jeopardy every night. For the summertime, you might want to share a few trivia games with kids. A platform like Kahoot! has plenty of ready-to-share trivia games for students.

Reading opens up a world of adventure and exploration for students! For a summer reading challenge for kids, you might focus on giving kids lots of choices. You might encourage families to take a trip to the library and let them roam the shelves. Reading isn’t just about physical books. Explore audiobooks, graphic novels , magazines, and comics this summer!

F.B.I. Shed Informants Linked to Russian Influence Operations

After a secret review several years ago, the bureau cut off confidential sources thought to be connected to Russian disinformation.

By Kenneth P. Vogel ,  Adam Goldman and Mattathias Schwartz

The F.B.I. cut ties to at least a handful of informants and issued warnings about dozens of others after an internal review prompted by concerns that they were linked to Russian disinformation, current and former U.S. officials said.

The review was carried out in 2020 and 2021 by a small group within the bureau’s counterintelligence division, with the findings then passed along to field offices, which handle informants.

It led to the severing of sources — some of whom had offered information about Russia-aligned oligarchs, political leaders and other influential figures — at a moment when the bureau was asking agents to produce more information from and about those same networks. The review was conducted during and after the 2020 election, when concerns about Russian meddling were running high, and at a time when the United States was closely monitoring whether Russia would invade Ukraine.

The episode highlighted a tricky balance: The more access informants have to valuable intelligence, the higher the risk that they could knowingly or unknowingly be used to channel disinformation. This is particularly true with regard to post-Soviet countries, where shifting alliances among oligarchs, politicians and intelligence services have far-reaching consequences that can be difficult for Western governments to discern.

Even in an age of high-tech intelligence gathering and surveillance, human sources continue to play an important role in law enforcement and national security, giving agents the chance to gather insights and perspective that cannot always be gleaned from communications intercepts, for example.

The New York Times has independently confirmed, but is not disclosing, the identities of several of the F.B.I. informants who provided information about Russia and Ukraine and who were cut off around the time of the review by the bureau’s counterintelligence division, including one informant that predated the review.

Johnathan C. Buma, an F.B.I. agent who oversaw at least four of the informants who were dropped, suggested in a written statement provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee last year that law enforcement should embrace the murkiness that comes with operating in the shadows.

“Typical disinformation operations are based on partial truths, and the only way to determine the veracity of the allegations is to conduct an independent investigation to attempt corroboration,” Mr. Buma wrote in explaining his opposition to the terminations.

His statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is led by Democrats, as well as a statement Mr. Buma submitted earlier to a special subcommittee of the Republican-controlled House, came after he filed a whistle-blower complaint accusing the F.B.I. of suppressing intelligence from his sources and retaliating against him.

The F.B.I. is investigating Mr. Buma’s dealings with an informant he worked with after the bureau cut off those identified in the counterintelligence review, a person familiar with the matter said.

The F.B.I. had been aware of Russian disinformation efforts for years, and eventually became concerned that the campaign extended to its own informants.

In particular, the F.B.I. watched as informants across the bureau’s different divisions began peddling new information that was politically explosive. It included reports regarding President Biden’s family and former President Donald J. Trump, as well as other inflammatory topics, according to former and current U.S. officials and an ex-informant for the counterintelligence division.

The types of concerns that prompted the review spilled into public view in February, when prosecutors indicted a longtime informant on Russia and Ukraine matters, Alexander Smirnov, for lying to the F.B.I.

Prosecutors accused him of fabricating claims about bribes paid to the Bidens by a Ukrainian energy company whose board included the president’s son, Hunter Biden. Prosecutors said Mr. Smirnov had passed along information about Hunter Biden — though they did not provide specifics — from Russian intelligence.

Mr. Smirnov was flagged as part of the F.B.I. review but he was not shut down, because information he was providing was being used in other investigations , the former and current U.S. officials said.

Around the time of the review, the F.B.I. circulated internal memos to agents hinting at competing imperatives. On the one hand, agents were instructed to gather more intelligence from informants about Russian efforts to meddle in U.S. politics, and to retaliate against the United States for its support of Ukraine.

On the other, they were urged to be on the lookout for disinformation, misinformation or influence operations from foreign governments that took aim at American politics, according to the memos, which were obtained by The Times.

The memos, each of which was labeled “collection priorities message,” listed the identification numbers and handling agents of informants who could be of assistance on such matters. The memos do not mention the terminations, or any concerns about specific informants.

A former official said that dozens of F.B.I. agents in field offices were warned to handle their informants, known as confidential human sources, with extra care because the Russians might have been aware of their contact with the United States. Under bureau policy, the decision to end relationships with informants rests with the F.B.I. field offices and not headquarters.

A U.S. official described this effort as an “awareness campaign” inside the F.B.I.

The bureau’s sources are often encouraged to maintain associations with criminal figures or foreign intelligence services. The idea is for them to report back on those associates; in the process, though, they can become conduits used by those associates to inject false information — intentionally or unknowingly — into the realms of U.S. law enforcement or intelligence.

Some terminations in early 2022 were classified as precautionary and not for cause, according to Mr. Buma’s statement and one of his former informants. That suggests there was no specific evidence that those informants had willfully tried to channel Russian disinformation into federal law enforcement, but rather that there was concern that they might have done so unwittingly, or merely been associated with people believed to be pushing disinformation, or politically motivated information.

Information provided by one of Mr. Buma’s terminated informants, an American businessman with deep connections overseas, was used by the special counsel investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election, according to Mr. Buma’s statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Other information from the businessman was used to revoke the U.S. visa of a Ukrainian-Russian oligarch and to support the decision to impose sanctions on a Ukrainian oligarch who had been a key backer of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, according to Mr. Buma’s statement. And it was used to identify two corrupt federal law enforcement agents.

Among the associations that appear to have raised red flags within the F.B.I. was the businessman’s recruitment of two Ukrainians who would themselves become F.B.I. informants. One of the Ukrainians was a former K.G.B. agent who had become a Ukrainian intelligence operative, who developed high-level Ukrainian government contacts through his leadership of a foundation dedicated to tracking kleptocracy, according to Mr. Buma’s statement. It identified the other as a researcher for the foundation who had a background in economics.

In January 2019, according to interviews and Mr. Buma’s statement, the two Ukrainians traveled to the Los Angeles area for meetings during which they provided information to representatives from the F.B.I. and other agencies about oligarchs, money laundering and Ukrainian and American political figures.

Among their claims was one that Hunter Biden had failed to disclose lobbying he did for the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and had failed to pay taxes on income from the company. Mr. Biden was not charged with lobbying violations. He was charged last year with failure to file tax returns covering millions of dollars in income from Burisma and other foreign businesses. It is not clear whether information from the two Ukrainian informants played any role in the investigation.

The F.B.I. first pressed to cut off the businessman after he and the two Ukrainians attended a conservative gala in May 2019. At the event, the Ukrainians presented a thumb drive containing allegations about Mr. Biden and other Democrats to an aide traveling with Mike Pompeo, then the secretary of state, according to internal F.B.I. reports and an article published in Business Insider .

Mr. Buma successfully resisted efforts to terminate the American businessman.

Mr. Buma argued that the informant was granting the F.B.I. a critical view into a murky world that was increasingly important to U.S. national security as Russia built up its efforts to influence American politics and exert control over Ukraine, according to interviews and the statement Mr. Buma provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Buma had been trained by the bureau to speak Russian. Part of his job was identifying and recruiting informants with access to Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs, politicians and their networks.

The American businessman became “one of the F.B.I.’s top C.H.S.s whose reporting had been extensively corroborated through predicated investigations, with numerous well-documented high-impact successes related to countering foreign influence and public corruption on both sides of the political spectrum,” Mr. Buma wrote in his statement to the Senate, referring to confidential human sources.

Yet, in the weeks before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the bureau again expressed concerns about the businessman and other sources connected to him.

In a meeting in February 2022, an official with the bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force told Mr. Buma that he was “not the only field agent whom they were asking to close their sources related to Russia/Ukraine matters just as the war erupted,” Mr. Buma wrote in his statement to the Senate. “When I questioned the wisdom of their request, the supervising analyst claimed their recommendation relied on highly classified information from the National Security Agency.”

The informants were closed out, as were others linked to the businessman, including, Mr. Buma recalled in his statement, “many other productive sources in that category who took years for me to develop.”

Mr. Buma suggested in his statement that the closures were an effort to shut down investigations that might implicate Trump allies, including Rudolph W. Giuliani. Mr. Buma had collected information from the businessman about Mr. Giuliani’s efforts to damage the Bidens by highlighting their work in Ukraine.

The F.B.I. declined to comment on Mr. Buma’s claims.

Mr. Buma privately discussed his allegations last summer with Republican staff members for the House subcommittee and with aides to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat who chairs the oversight subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

There is no evidence that either congressional committee is investigating his claims. A spokesman for the House subcommittee declined to comment, while representatives for the Senate Judiciary Committee and Mr. Whitehouse did not respond.

Months later, Mr. Buma’s home was searched for classified information by the F.B.I. Mr. Buma has been suspended from the bureau, but he has not been criminally charged.

Scott Horton, a lawyer for Mr. Buma, cast the investigation as “revenge” against his client for having suggested that the F.B.I.’s handling of confidential sources was affected by political bias against the Bidens and in favor of Mr. Trump’s allies.

Mr. Horton said he had met with Hunter Biden’s lawyers to discuss how Mr. Buma’s story might be of assistance. Another lawyer for Mr. Buma, Mark Geragos, is also representing Mr. Biden.

Ukraine's getting more longe-range missiles that leave the Russians with 'nowhere to hide'

• Ukraine's Western allies have promised to send it more long-range missiles.
• Kyiv has already demonstrated it can use ATACMS and Storm Shadows to hit high-value Russian targets.
• Former US military officers say more of these missiles will expose Russia on the battlefield.

NATO countries are outfitting Ukraine with additional long-range precision missiles that have already been used by the country to strike Russian airfields, naval headquarters, bridges, and other high-value targets.

These Western-provided missiles give Ukraine's deep-strike capability a major firepower boost. Former US military officers told Business Insider that the munitions could help Kyiv go after locations that are essential to Russia's operations, and leave its combat and support forces with "nowhere to hide."

Ukraine is facing Russian offensives that may get more intense going into the summer, but these weapons could help hamstring Moscow's efforts.

"If you're worried about Russian forces overrunning your defenses, you want to go after the headquarters and you want to go after the logistics that would enable Russian attacks," said Ben Hodges, a retired lieutenant general and former commander of US Army Europe.

The US last month acknowledged that it had secretly shipped Ukraine a number of MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile Systems, also known as ATACMS — earlier this spring as part of a $300 million weapons package it announced in March. The number of missiles isn't publicly known, but ATACMS missiles average about $1.3 million each.

Jake Sullivan, the Biden administration's national security advisor, said in late April that the US would send Ukraine more ATACMS after passing a $61 billion aid package that spent months held up by Republicans in Congress. The legislation required that Washington transfer the munitions.

ATACMS are tactical ballistic missiles that come in several variants. Ukraine previously received ones that have a range of 100 miles and can disperse nearly 1,000 submunitions over a large area, making them particularly damaging to airfields . Last fall, Kyiv used the missiles for that exact purpose.

The US also has ATACMS that can travel up to 190 miles; one variant has a unitary warhead, while the other can scatter some 300 submunitions. Ukraine has long pressed Washington for these extended-range missiles, though it's unclear what Kyiv has actually obtained.

Around the same time, in late April, the UK announced it would send Ukraine additional Storm Shadow cruise missiles as part of the country's largest-ever weapons package (£500 million, or $633 million), which included over 1,600 strike and air-defense munitions.

Days later, Britain's defense minister Grant Shapps disclosed for the first time that Italy had, at some point, also supplied Kyiv with Storm Shadow cruise missiles (France has sent Kyiv its own version of the munition called SCALP-EG).

These air-dropped missiles can fly at low altitudes to avoid detection and have been used to strike Russian naval headquarters and vehicle-repair depots in the occupied Crimean peninsula. Their 155-mile range puts them in between the ATACMS variants.

It's unclear exactly how many ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles have already arrived in Ukraine this spring, nor is it known how many more the country can expect to receive in the coming weeks as it tries to stall Russia's momentum on the ground. Kyiv previously obtained a limited number of both munitions from the US and its European allies.

A larger arsenal of missiles could strip Russia of its ability to stage crucial assets within 100 miles of the front lines, said Dan Rice, a former US Army artillery officer who previously served as a special advisor to Ukrainian military leadership. "That puts tremendous pressure on all of their key high-value targets."

"You have a 600-mile front and then you've got a hundred miles deep — where do you hide everything?" said Rice, a longtime advocate for sending cluster munitions to Ukraine and now the president of American University Kyiv. "Your transportation nodes, your railway stations, your supply depots, command and control — most importantly, your anti-aircraft systems."

Ukraine's battlefield reach has steadily grown throughout the full-scale war. What started out with short-range artillery improved over time with the arrival of US-provided High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS. These game-changing weapons suddenly put Russian logistics centers, ammunition dumps, and command and control nodes within firing range.

Russia adapted to the HIMARS by moving its critical assets out of reach and jamming the munitions. The arrival of Storm Shadow missiles — and, several months later, ATAMCS — presented new challenges for Moscow , but Ukraine has received so few it has had to bee choosy over what to target.

Hodges and Rice say a larger arsenal of ATACMS and Storm Shadows can give Ukraine both the reach and inventory to smash the high-value targets that sustain Moscow's war efforts like supply depots and maintenance facilities. Indeed, Kyiv has used the American missiles in recent weeks to strike Russian airfields and troop gatherings .

"When you start taking those off the board, then it doesn't matter how much untrained, mass infantry — cannon fodder — that the Russians have," Hodges said. "I think long-range precision strike is becoming the dominant factor on the battlefield."

Missiles like ATACMS and Storm Shadow "will enable Ukraine to neutralize Russia's advantages and eventually enable them to regain the initiative," he added. Ukraine has also long sought Germany's Taurus missile, whose range is more than a 100 miles farther than ATACMS, but Berlin has so far declined to provide them.

The increased arsenal comes at a critical point. Russia is making gains on the battlefield as its bigger war industry shifts to mass-producing the drones and glide bombs that are pounding Ukraine's defenses.

Ultimately, however, the effectiveness of Kyiv's long-range strike regime depends on how many munitions it receives — and how it uses them. Ukraine had long been restricted to using ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles only inside occupied territory, although the UK recently agreed to let Kyiv use its weapons to strike inside Russia .

Whether or not the US follows suit remains to be seen. Analysts and officials have said that US restrictions went on to prevent Ukraine from putting up an effective defense and have essentially allowed Russia to conduct a new assault in the northeastern Kharkiv region .

The advances appear to be the start of Moscow's anticipated summer offensive, as Ukrainian forces are increasingly stretched out across the front, Jack Watling, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute think tank, warned in an analysis this week.

"The outlook in Ukraine is bleak," Watling said. "However, if Ukraine's allies engage now to replenish Ukrainian munitions stockpiles, help to establish a robust training pipeline, and make the industrial investments to sustain the effort, then Russia's summer offensive can be blunted, and Ukraine will receive the breathing space it needs to regain the initiative."
