He gets backing from the Brit’s top General on their view….
As the war in Ukraine approaches the one-year mark, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley said Tuesday that Russia has “lost.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin “thought he could defeat Ukraine quickly, fracture the NATO alliance, and act with impunity. He was wrong,” Milley said while speaking to reporters in Brussels.
The top US general ripped into Moscow for launching an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, emphasizing that Russia has paid an “enormous price on the battlefield” as a consequence.
“Russia is now a global pariah and the world remains inspired by Ukrainian bravery and resilience. In short, Russia has lost — they’ve lost strategically, operationally, and tactically,” Milley added.
Milley’s comments echoed an assessment from Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the United Kingdom’s chief of defense staff, who in December said “Russia is losing” and the “free world is winning.”
When Russia invaded Ukraine last February, it was widely expected to conquer Kyiv in a matter of days. But Russian forces failed in that objective as Ukrainian troops put up a far stiffer resistance than expected. With the help of Western-supplied weapons, Ukraine has continued to defy expectations in this war.
Over the course of 2022, the fighting largely shifted to Ukraine’s east and the conflict morphed into a brutal, grinding war of attrition….
