Sullivan says Putin 'resorting' to potential use of chemical weapons due to frustrations
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday said Russian President Vladimir Putin is "resorting" to potentially using chemical weapons in Ukraine because he is frustrated that Moscow's forces are not advancing.
Sullivan told moderator Margaret Brennan on CBS's "Face the Nation" that Russian forces are not advancing in Ukraine because of the "bravery and skill of the Ukrainian people," and as a result of the support Kyiv has received from the U.S. and its allies.
"Part of the reason why Putin is resorting to the possibility of extreme tactics like the use of chemical weapons is because he's frustrated because his forces aren't advancing," Sullivan said.
"And one of the reasons they're not advancing, the central reason is the bravery and skill of the Ukrainian people, but they are being supported by substantial amounts of military assistance from the United States and our allies," he added.
