They quote President Zelensky stating that Russia has seized 47 Ukrainian towns and villages, but do not provide any context or evidence of their own to support this claim. They also quote US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stating that Russia's advance on the Kharkiv border region had 'stalled out', but again, no context or evidence is provided by the author.
