Ukraine desperate for supplies as Russia advances on invasion’s 2-year anniversary

CHASIV YAR, Ukraine — Frustration over lagging United States military aid is written on the crumbling walls of this town near Ukraine’s front line.

“We are not asking too much,” reads the graffiti in Chasiv Yar, which two years of intense fighting has slowly razed to the ground. “We just need artillery shells and aviation. Rest we do ourselves. Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

Chasiv Yar’s mayor agrees with the sentiments spelled out in black letters against grubby teal.

“During the last two years I got used to keeping my emotions inside, but sometimes you just want to scream,” Serhiy Chaus, who wears a bulletproof vest with a “Ukrainian patriot” patch on it, told NBC News this week.
