Ukraine's eastern front line resembles "a grinding slog" and Russia is not likely to be able to make significant territorial gains in the near term, the U.S. undersecretary of state for defense policy, Colin Kahl, said on Tuesday.
"Both sides stay in their positions, because as you see, spring means mud. Thus, it is impossible to move forward," said Mykola, 59, commander of a Ukrainian front-line rocket launcher battery, watching a tablet screen for coordinates to fire. "Western intelligence services have traditionally always been actively working in Russia, and now they have thrown additional personnel, technical and other resources against us," said Putin, himself a former KGB agent.
