Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, General Mark Milley, believes that war in Ukraine will last a long time.
He stated this on briefing after the meeting of the Contact Group on Defense Support to Ukraine (the so-called “Ramstein-4”), which took place in a virtual format.
“Today is the 147th day since the beginning of the Russian invasion, illegal and unprovoked, large-scale, strong against weak. This fight is likely to be a long-term conflict,” the American general said.
Recall that in the United States it is believed that Donbass is not lost for Ukraine. Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to oppose the plans of the Russian Federation to occupy the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
