Live: Washington does not expect a major offensive in Ukraine during the winter

•  6:45 a.m.: Fighting will continue at a slower pace during the winter

The Director of US National Intelligence estimates that the current pace of fighting in Ukraine, which has slowed sharply, will continue for several months.

“We are already seeing some slowdown in the conflict and we expect that to continue in the coming months,” April Haines explained at the annual Reagan National Defense forum.

According to her, both the Ukrainians and the Russians should seek to prepare for a new counter-offensive after the winter, by renewing their equipment and restocking.

"We are quite skeptical about how ready the Russians will be. I am more optimistic for the Ukrainians."
