WASHINGTON (Realist English). The military capabilities of the Kiev regime’s armed formations have grown significantly in recent months, they are ready for defense and attack. This will force the Kremlin to sit down at the negotiating table with Kiev, because they have no chance of winning, General Mark Milley, head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in an interview with Foreign Affairs.
“So I would tell you that the Ukrainians right now have the capability to attack, they can conduct offensive operations, and they also have the capability to defend, significantly enhanced from what they were just a year ago for conventional operations. So, I think their capability has significantly increased. So they can either do attack or defense.” Milley noted.
At the same time, the general did not comment on the readiness of the Ukrainian formations for a counter—offensive operation, referring to the fact that it is up to the Kiev regime to decide where and how to conduct its operations:
That’ll be up to them. They’ve got a significant amount of planning and coordination and all of that to do, if they were to do an offensive operation. But they’re prepared to do offense or defense.
