This is the best summary I could come up with:
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday Moscow has suffered “significant losses” in the new offensive in Ukraine.
Kirby added that Russia’s army had lost at least 125 armoured vehicles around the Ukrainian town of Avdiivka in the eastern Donetsk region and more than a battalion’s worth of equipment.
Kirby also renewed a plea for Congress to pass a nearly €100 billion supplemental funding request that US President Joe Biden unveiled last week.
So to ensure that we can continue to do that it’s critical that Congress step up and pass the supplemental requests that the president put forward last week."
On Thursday lawmakers in Russia also adopted their draft budget for 2024-2026 in which the State Duma decided to increase military spending by 68 per cent.
To take effect, the draft law must now be adopted in the second and the third reading by the Duma, before passing to the Russian parliament’s upper house, the Federation Council, and then must be signed by President Vladimir Putin.
