Russia Captures Sieverne & Stepove Villages; Ukrainian Forces Pull Back After 'Heavy Battles'

The Ukrainian Army pulled back from Sieverne & Stepove villages, handing Russia their third victory after the fall of Avdiivka in east Ukraine's Donetsk region. The Ukrainian Army said that the retreat took place after heavy battles. The U.S. warned that Ukrainian troops will "very likely" lose ground to Russia within a month or two. This unless the House of Representatives approves additional funding to support Kyiv's war effort. Watch for more details.
