Abstract
- According to top U.S. generals, Russia's recent gains in Ukraine do not indicate a breakthrough for Moscow. While Russian forces have advanced into Ukrainian territory near Kharkiv, American military leaders believe that Russia lacks sufficient troops to launch a large assault on the city. Instead, the push seems aimed at protecting Russian territory and tying down Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian forces are already stretched thin, and Russia's offensive could create opportunities for a breakthrough elsewhere. However, the U.S. generals express confidence that Ukrainian defenders will be able to hold the line and thwart further Russian progress. [Extracted from the article]
