At the same time, according to him, the losses of the aggressor country are significant, given that since February 24, the invaders have failed to achieve “none of the goals of Vladimir Putin”.

“The morale of the Ukrainians and their desire to fight is beyond doubt, and I think they are much higher than the desire to fight on the part of Russia, which gives the Ukrainians a significant advantage,” added the US Deputy Secretary of Defense..
