This is the best summary I could come up with:
However, delayed weapons deliveries mean Ukraine is now struggling to push back Russian advances, retired US Air Force colonel Cedric Leighton told CNN last week.
Last week, The Institute for the Study of War reported that Russian forces appear to be creating a “buffer zone” instead of pursuing deeper offensives there.
Zelenskyy told Reuters that the situation north of Kharkiv is “under control” but that a “very powerful wave” of fighting is taking place in Donbas.
“No one even notices that there are actually more battles in the east of the country, specifically in the Donbas direction: Kurakhove, Pokrovsk, Chasiv Yar,” he said.
As part of that shift, Zelenskyy is now asking the US and its allies to allow Ukrainian forces to use weapons supplied by them inside Russian territory, per Reuters — a suggestion the Pentagon has rejected.
Some NATO countries, including Estonia and France, want to go further and are considering sending their troops to Ukraine, albeit in limited ways.
