We are also hearing from Gen Mark Milley, the US chair of joint chiefs of staff.
Milley says colder conditions would make it much harder for Ukraine to manoeuvre.
Ukraine has little more than 30 days left of fighting before the weather hinders its counter-offensive, the top-ranking US military officer says.
He admits the offensive had gone more slowly than expected. But he says: “There’s still heavy fighting going on.
“The Ukrainians are still plugging away with steady progress.”
Gen Milley says it was too early to say whether the counter-offensive had failed, but said Ukraine was “progressing at a very steady pace through the Russian front lines”.
“There’s still a reasonable amount of time, probably about 30 to 45 days’ worth of fighting weather left, so the Ukrainians aren’t done.”
