US intelligence predicts further retreat of Russian troops after the loss of Kharkiv Oblast, - WP
"Russia is in trouble. The question now is how the Russians will respond, and their weakness has been exposed and they don't have significant reserves of manpower or equipment," one American official told the publication on condition of anonymity.
Another WP interlocutor notes that Ukrainian forces are advancing cautiously, consolidating their gains. At the same time, Washington does not believe that Russia's retreat in the Kharkiv region indicates its strategic defeat.
US intelligence is skeptical that Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has not yet announced mobilization, will decide to resort to extreme measures - such as the use of chemical or tactical nuclear weapons. Moreover, Russia still has opportunities to regroup and deliver a strong blow.
‼️ Another package of military aid for Ukraine worth 600 million dollars will be announced this week. It will be similar to the previous one.
