THE GENERAL’S CONSENSUS: Over the past few days, three of America’s top Army generals — two retired, one about to retire — have weighed in on the slow pace of Ukraine’s counteroffensive aimed at breaking through Russian lines, severing Russia’s land bridge to Crimea, and liberating much of the occupied south, including Crimea, illegally annexed by Russia in 2014.
“Keep in mind, we're just at the 10-week mark,” he said. “You know, this is like a third of the way through the surge in Iraq, when I was also getting lots of questions and comments and people were wondering whether the surge had failed.” But Clark’s big takeaway from the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, which Russia said Sunday has been confirmed by DNA analysis, is that Ukraine can’t deal with Russia. President Vladimir Putin can never be trusted and will never voluntarily give up his territorial ambitions.
"Clearly it’s had partial success to date. Now, the speed at which the offensive has been undertaking is slower than the planners had thought," Milley admitted, but he disputed the suggestion the counteroffensive is failing. “They're fighting through it. The Ukrainians have a significant amount of combat power remaining. This is not over yet, so I think it's frankly too early to say whether it's succeeded or failed.
UKRAINE LOSES ‘JUICE’: A well-known Ukrainian pilot who went by the call sign “Juice” was one of three pilots killed Friday when their L-39 training aircraft collided in midair during a combat mission over western Ukraine. “My condolences to the family and friends, to everyone who knew the guys,” he said. “Ukraine will never forget anyone who defended Ukraine's free sky. May they always be remembered!”
“I knew Prigozhin for a long time, since the early 1990s. He was a man of a difficult fate and made some serious mistakes in his life, but he also achieved the necessary results for himself and also for the greater good when I asked him,” Putin said at a Friday meeting with the head of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic.
“But the problem here is that, in doing so, he was going after somebody who frankly enjoyed a lot of support from Putin supporters, right-wingers, military types, people who criticized the war in Ukraine,” Panetta said. “And so the very base that Putin needs in order to survive in office was also very close to Prigozhin, and as a result, I think Putin has been weakened, not strengthened, by what has happened.
