Ukraine, 007 USA: “Russia secures advantage in the East”

Russian forces are securing an advantage on the ground in eastern Ukraine, where they act on the basis of mistakes made during the early stages of the invasion of the country, with better coordination of air and ground attacks and changes in logistics and supply lines. Two US officials with direct knowledge of US intelligence assessments provided the assessment by talking to CNN. The United States, the broadcaster argues in reporting the assessment, also does not expect the new weapon systems recently supplied to Ukrainian forces, including the Himars multiple rocket launch system, to immediately change the situation on the ground, in partly because they have limited range and number of rockets to prevent them from being launched into Russian territory, partly because Russian forces were able to destroy some of the new weapons supplied by the West, including M777 howitzers, in the course of targeted attacks .
