Ukraine's Tough Year with Luke Harding

<p>After a tough year in 2023 and a lack of major progress in regaining territory from the Russians, this year promises to be another challenging one for Ukraine. Looming over all of what Ukraine does is the question of Western support. Will the USA be able to overcome its political turmoil and continue to provide the Ukrainians with the weapons and aid they desperately need? Will Europe be able to step up its weapons production? And perhaps the biggest question of all: will Donald Trump return to the presidency, thereby ending American support to Ukraine?</p><br><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/profile/lukeharding" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Luke Harding</a>, Guardian foreign correspondent and author of the book <a href="https://guardianbookshop.com/invasion-9781783352777" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Invasion</a>, has spent most of 2023 in Ukraine, reporting from the frontlines of that conflict.
