The Ukraine war 'is going to be long, it’s going to be hard, it’s going to be bloody,” Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Mark Milley predicted.
The Ukraine war “is going to be long, it’s going to be hard, it’s going to be bloody,” Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Mark Milley predicted.
The failed mutiny that ended with Prigozhin’s exile has thrown Russia’s military command structure into disarray, Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Mark Milley told reporters at the Pentagon. Russian troops have had several months to boost their defenses in Ukraine, including laying complex minefields, installing barbed wire and digging trenches, Milley said. But Ukraine is working through the front lines “slowly and deliberately.”
The main challenge for Ukrainian troops is minefields, which are forcing soldiers to move slowly, Milley said. The coalition is focused on providing Ukraine equipment to help clear and defend against those mines, as well as air defenses to protect against Russian air attacks.
