Russian forces are halting ground operations towards Kyiv and focusing attacks on the eastern Donbas region, the Pentagon said Friday, a potential indication that Moscow may be paring back its ambitions after a month of stumbles and frustrations.

Russian officials have also shifted their rhetoric to suggest Donbas was their top priority.
