The White House has denied claims that Ukraine is at a stalemate in its defensive war against Russia. National security adviser Jake Sullivan stated that Ukraine is methodically and systematically taking territory from Russia. He acknowledged that both sides are engaged in attacking and defending along an extended front line. Sullivan urged critics of Ukraine’s counteroffensive to approach the issue with humility and emphasized that Ukraine makes its own decisions about its strategy. While Ukraine faces resistance in the northeast, it has reportedly made significant gains in the southeast. The intense fighting over the past 18 months has resulted in high casualties on both sides, with Russia suffering approximately 300,000 military casualties and Ukraine experiencing heavy losses as well. Sullivan noted that Ukraine has made recent gains in the south and continues to probe Russian defenses while carrying out the fight sustainably. However, concerns remain about Ukraine’s slow pace in pushing back Russian forces and the strain it may have on international support. The Biden administration has requested $24 billion in funding for Ukraine and other international needs, but faces resistance from GOP voices critical of assistance to Ukraine. Despite this, bipartisan support for Ukraine in Congress remains strong.
