Russia's military is "badly weakened" from the grueling war in Ukraine, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has said, as Russian and Ukrainian troops face another second winter of fighting.
After 21 months of all-out war, "the Russian military has been badly weakened," Austin said during an address at the Reagan National Defense Forum on Saturday.
