Jake Sullivan, a White House national security adviser, said on Sunday that Russian troops have been forced to regroup after being pushed back by Ukrainian forces.

Sullivan said on Face The Nation that Russia has changed its behavior in the war. They have retreated from large areas of northeastern and northern Ukraine. They made the adjustments because they were beaten by the Ukrainians.

The flow of equipment from the U.S. and its allies to the besieged country was credited by Sullivan. He said last week that Slovakia was able to send an air defense system because the U.S. was willing to give a battery.

The Russian Ambassador to the U.S. told Newsweek that the West is provoking Russia.

The envoy warned that the actions could lead to a military confrontation between the U.S. and the Russian Federation.
