“It’s going to be very long, and it’s going to be very, very bloody,” Milley said. “And no one should have any illusions about any of that.”
Meanwhile, the US is providing Ukraine with “as much help as humanly possible” despite recent comments from Ukrainian Commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny, Milley said.that he is still waiting on F-16 fighters promised by Ukraine’s Western allies, who he said would never launch an offensive without air superiority.
“I do not need 120 planes. I’m not going to threaten the whole world. A very limited number would be enough,” Zuluzhny said. At least 30 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in a missile strike near the Dnipro River, the Kherson governor said.The Ukrainian general also said it “pisses me off” when Western countries remark on the counteroffensive’s slow progress, adding that he is working with only a small portion of the artillery shells Russia is firing.“We have an agreement: 24/7, we’re in touch,” Zaluzhny said. “So, sometimes I can call up and say, ‘If I don’t get 100,000 shells in a week, 1,000 people will die.
However, Zaluzhny said Milley is not the sole decision-maker and any wasted time may mean more deaths. “It’s just that while that decision is being made, in the obvious situation, a lot of people die every day – a lot,” Zaluzhny said.
