During a conference at the Atlantic Council, U.S. Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth named the reason for these small successes of the Russian forces..

“Russia has reduced its goals, focused on the Donbass and sent all its forces there. Also, this area is more favorable for mass bombing.. And this is precisely what Russia is famous for,” the American minister believes..

Therefore, he needs to set aside a lot of time and think about everything well, ”Warmouth warned..
