EXCERPT:
SMITH: “So, we will monitor the situation the ground to make sure that we understand how they are shifting tactics. I don't think we have evidence of that quite yet. But what we do have evidence of is the fact that the Russians have not succeeded in their original aims. And that was, as you well know, to take Kyiv in just a couple of days. We're now at the one-month point. And it's clear that Russian forces are not performing as anticipated, and that this has not gone as planned. So, because of that, I think Russia is reassessing. And they have indicated that they're going to alter their tactics. But let's give it some time. Next couple days, the United States, working closely with allies and the Ukrainian government, will be looking for evidence of this shift.”
