US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Congress that Russia has maintained its strategic advantages in the conflict with Ukraine and shows no signs of abandoning its objectives.

According to her assessment, Moscow will continue to wage a prolonged war of attrition until it achieves its military and political goals. "Russia maintained its advantage in the war against Ukraine throughout 2025," Gabbard stated.

US intelligence agencies assess that Russian military capabilities have actually strengthened since the beginning of the conflict. Gabbard emphasized that Russia possesses advanced weapons systems, including space technologies, hypersonic missiles, and submarine platforms designed to neutralize American military dominance.

This assessment comes at a time when diplomatic efforts to end the conflict remain without concrete results, while Moscow clearly shows it has no intention of backing down.
