Details: Currently, according to O'Brien, Russia is losing the ability to advance due to Ukraine destroying Russian assets near the borders.

He added that the priority for the US has been to provide weapons and focus them "in areas that were of most immediate need".

Quote: "We are seeing dramatic shifts in Russia’s ability to sustain its campaign against Ukraine because of the loss of facilities in the targeted area."
