US official: “Russian military casualties exceed 310,000; up to $211 billion to maintain operations”. He explained that without additional funding, Ukraine would have no interceptor missiles to protect its cities, critical infrastructure, and front-line troops from Russia's continued missile attacks.
He called for the approval of an emergency budget for additional military support. On the other hand, this high-ranking official expressed a sense of crisis regarding Audiiivka in the Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine, where the Russian military is intensifying its offensive.
