Battle lines shifting in eastern Ukraine
Ukrainian servicemen and emergency workers carry the body of a suspected Russian soldier in Malaya Rohan, a village retaken by Ukrainian forces on the outskirts of Kharkiv, Ukraine, May 8, 2022.
Russian troops in Ukraine are reportedly retreating from the region around Kharkiv, blowing up bridges as they pull back. But elsewhere along the eastern front line, Russian troops seem to be advancing. And US military aid to Ukraine has overwhelming support in Congress. But as American-made weapons go into battle, they deplete US stockpiles, potentially impacting US preparedness for other wars. Plus, we hear the story about a restaurant in small-town Vermont that’s receiving a lot of attention for its excellent regional Thai cuisine.
