Russia seizes moment, situation on the Ukrainian front is complicated - Pentagon

Yevropeiska Pravda reported the information.

According to Ryder, the US is working hard to speed up assistance to Ukraine.

The spokesperson stated that the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine is currently difficult. However, according to all available information, Ukrainians continue to take measures to defend their territory. He added that they would do everything possible to provide Ukraine with the critical weapons and supplies it needs.

At the same time, he suggested that one of the factors behind Russia's intensification was the delay in approving US aid: “The Russians have taken advantage of the situation on the battlefield and are trying to make advances. No matter how small these advances may be, it is certainly a cause for concern.”

• On the evening of Tuesday, May 14, it became known that Ukrainian troops had moved to more favorable positions near Lukiantsi and Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region.
