During the White House briefing, Sullivan said Russia had “severe costs” on the battlefield, with efforts to establish territory in the east “having a cost to maintain its own weapons”.

“Our information further indicates that Iran is preparing to train Russian forces to use these UAVs, with the initial training session scheduled for the end of July. It is unclear whether Iran has ever delivered any of these UAVs to Russia. But this is just one example of how Russia is looking to countries like Iran for resources that were already used, for example, to attack Saudi Arabia before we had a ceasefire in Yemen,” he continued.
A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council told CNN that the information Sullivan described to reporters was based on recently declassified intelligence.
