The top U.S. general acknowledged that he believes the Russia-Ukraine war will last much longer than previously anticipated and will develop into a “protracted conflict.”
“Even though we’re a month-plus into the war, there is much of the ground war left in Ukraine,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley told a House Armed Services hearing Tuesday when asked by Rep. Bill Keating (D-Mass.). “But I do think this is a very protracted conflict, and I think it’s at least measured in years. I don’t know about a decade, but at least years for sure.”
