The relevant data is provided by the American media ABC News, citing a senior representative of the US Department of Defense.

According to the official, the focus on eastern Ukraine is due to several factors:

• get a trump card for negotiations;
• change in military strategy after unsuccessful attempts to capture Kyiv.

The Pentagon also notes that Russian troops around Kyiv have stopped advancing towards the city, although they continue to conduct long-range fire. They are located 15-20 km from Kyiv in the northwest and 55 km in the east
