Ukrainian forces are pushing back Russian troops so successfully that the invaders have been forced to regroup, refit and refocus, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday. "They have retreated. They have pulled back from substantial territory in northern and northeastern Ukraine," Sullivan said.
