United States of America acknowledge the team Russia continue to make progress in the battle in Ukraine.
Two US officials involved in Washington’s intelligence policy said Russia had much to gain in eastern Ukraine because it learned from its early-invasion mistakes.
The two US officials also said the coordination of Russia’s air and ground attacks was much better than before.
Quoted CNNRussia is now continuing to improve logistics and expand supply routes after being said to have been overwhelmed by Ukrainian troops at the beginning of the invasion.
The progress of the Russian invasion has been evident in recent weeks as it continues to control villages and towns in Luhansk and Donetsk, Donbas.
In recent days, Russia has succeeded in expanding its territorial control in Lysychank by taking control of a number of villages there.
Russia also controls 55 percent of the territory in Luhansk, an area that has long been home to pro-Moksow Ukrainian separatists.
However, US intelligence analysis suggests that Russia and Ukraine both lost significant amounts of personnel and weapons.
In response to Russia’s intensified offensive, Ukrainian lawmakers complained to the US House of Representatives that Moscow forces had calculated how much Allied ammunition supplies were for Kyiv.
Moscow, the lawmaker continued, is waiting for the Ukrainian troops to run out over time.
Russian and Ukrainian troops have been fighting fiercely in the Donbas since last May. This war is said to determine the fate of the region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky even asked the West to speed up arms deliveries to his country.
The strikes from Russia also blew up three bridges leading to Severodonetsk. As a result, Ukrainian forces have difficulty evacuating citizens from there and supplying reserves to the region.
