As Ukraine's counteroffensive ends, it's now bracing for a hard winter and renewed Russian advances.
It's unclear what 2024 holds, but Ukraine could be relying on irregular, guerrilla warfare.
Those types of attacks made headlines in 2023, and could hinder Russia's ability to fight in the future.

The Ukrainians are now on the defensive, scrambling to find men to fight, and desperate for ammunition to make sure the Russians pay in blood for every step forward. This past year was a difficult fight, and 2024 may be even tougher.
