The conflict began in 2014, when Russia took Crimea. Now, Ukraine is trying to retake the Russian-occupied peninsula, where Moscow stationed its Black Sea Fleet. Ukraine attacks military targets there almost on a daily basis. Overall, the Ukrainian counteroffensive is progressing slowly. In his recent visit to the U.S., President Selensky appeared to have gotten a commitment by the U.S. government for the delivery of ATACMS missiles, which the Ukrainian army can use to attack more targets in Crimea. And the first American Abrams tanks already arrived in Ukraine. So on To the Point we ask: US ATACMS Missiles and Abrams Tanks: Is Russia losing Crimea?
