"What we have seen over the last few days is them continue to try to set the conditions," the senior defense official said in a call with reporters on Monday."We call it shaping operations.""It appears as if they are trying to learn from the failed lessons of the north where they didn't have proper sustainment capabilities in the area they were about to operate," the official said.
Russia focusing on east and southThe US assesses that Russia has added 11 battalion tactical groups to their forces in the east and south since late last week, according to the senior US defense official, bringing Russia's total number of BTGs to 76."They have added to their capability inside Ukraine," the official said.
