Russia's advance in the Kharkiv area is slowing and the frontline is stabilizing after some allies lifted restrictions on Kyiv's use of donated weapons on Russian territory, U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Thursday.
"What I see is a slowing of the Russians' advance and a stabilizing of that particular piece of the front. Now, I think we'll see incremental gains -- and we'll see puts and takes -- going forward," he told reporters on the sidelines of a NATO defence ministers' meeting in Brussels.
"But again, a couple of weeks ago, there was concern that we would see a significant breakthrough on the part of the Russians. I don't think we'll see that going forward."
