"It will take a long time" in Ukraine is over 200,000 in the Russian Federation - US General

According to US Army General Mark Millie, the current counter -offensive of the Armed Forces will not be able to finish the war because it has some operational and tactical tasks. The fast end of the war in Ukraine is unlikely. Yes, the complete expulsion of the Russian military and the release of all the occupied territories is a very high bar, which will take a long time. This was stated by US Army General Mark Millie, writes The Hill.

According to him, the current counter -offensive of the Armed Forces will not be able to end the war. "There are more than 200,000 Russian servicemen in Russian occupied by Russia. This offensive, although significant, has limited operational and tactical goals in the sense that it - even if it is completely successful - will not throw away all the Russians, which is a broader strategic purpose, President Zelensky put, ”Millie said.

The General noted that in addition to the time - a complete victory will need considerable effort. He refused to say how much time, in his opinion, it would take it, citing changing aspects of war, but doubts that the conflict would end in the near future. It was also reported that a ship of the Russian Navy "Sergei Kotov" was shot in the Black Sea.
