The Russian military advance on Kyiv has momentarily stalled, hampered by Ukrainian resistance as well as fuel and food shortages, a senior US defense official says.
“We generally sense that the Russian military movement… the overarching movement on Kyiv, is stalled at this point,” the official tells reporters.
“We do think that some of it has to do with their own sustainment and logistics,” the official says.
“And we also think that just in general… the Russians themselves are regrouping and rethinking and trying to adjust to the challenges that they’ve had.”
