US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has said he hopes Russian losses in Ukraine will deter its leadership from repeating its actions.
He added that Ukraine can still win the war if given the right support and praised the efforts of its military.
“We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine,” the US military chief said.
Mr Austin was speaking after meeting President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.
