The Russian military is learning from its failures in northern Ukraine, according to a top U.S. defense official.
"What we have seen over the last few days is them continue to try to set the conditions," the official said in a phone call with reporters on Monday, as per CNN. "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. The official added that the Russian military was seen moving heavy artillery, “command and control enablers,” and “aviation, particularly rotary aviation support” as part of its recent deployments in eastern and southern Ukraine.
