Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Staff, believes it's unlikely that Ukraine will accomplish its goal of recapturing all of its territory that's under Russian occupation by the end of the year. “I don't think it's likely,” Milley said
Milley's assessment, which is in line with a similar assessment of his from the fall, is a stark one given Kyiv's stated goals of pushing all Russian forces out of Ukrainian territory, Crimea included.“I don't think it's likely to be done in the near term for this year,” Milley said in an interview with Defense One on Friday.
The front lines of the war are currently in the town of Bahkmut in the eastern part of Ukraine. The fighting has gone on near the city for months, with the Russians making incremental gains while both sides have suffered significant casualty counts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier this week that he's concerned the will of the Ukrainian people to keep fighting may be on the line with Bakhmut.
One of Ukraine’s biggest asks of the United States in terms of military aid that the Biden administration has not complied with is for ATACMS long-range missiles. Milley explained in the Defense One interview that the administration isn’t providing them because the U.S. doesn’t have enough of them in its stockpiles.
