According to US intelligence assessments, Russia's invasion is likely to grind on for some time.
Russian President Vladimir Putin still wants to capture most of Ukraine, US intelligence agencies believe.
Mr Putin still has the same goals as the ones he held at the start of the conflict, the US's top intelligence officer Ms Haines said - to take most of Ukraine. The most likely scenario would see Russian forces remaining preoccupied with the conflict for a long time, she said, limiting Moscow's wider military capabilities.
It may mean Moscow becomes more dependent on "asymmetric tools" to target its enemies; including cyber attacks, efforts to control energy resources and even nuclear weapons.
