Slotkin made these statements after participating in a secret briefing on the war in Ukraine with representatives of the US administration, who, according to the deputy, called the Russian army “exhausted.”
In the run-up to the war in Ukraine, there were reports that Russia had amassed 150,000 troops along the Ukrainian border.
Since then, Russian casualty figures have remained mixed.

Slotkin, who recently returned from a trip to Ukraine, said the next three to six weeks could be critical to the development of the conflict.
