Despite US aid, Ukraine struggles to maintain sufficient manpower on the front lines.
Ukraine's dwindling soldier numbers are a problem that could get worse, a war analyst warned.
Ukraine is also facing other challenges, like the diminished effectiveness of precision weapons.

Ukraine is having trouble maintaining a sufficient force size in its fight against Russia, which could lead to more problems down the road, war analyst Michael Kofman said.
