Russian President Vladimir Putin's call to increase Russian military forces in Ukraine shows Russia's problems on the battlefield.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken wrote about it on Twitter.

"President Putin's call for additional Russian military forces in Ukraine reflects Russia's struggles on the battlefield and the fact that President Putin is acting from a position of weakness, not strength," Anthony Blinken emphasized.
