CBS News: Top U.S. military officer expects Ukraine conflict to be “measured in years”
The highest ranking military officer in the U.S. said Tuesday that he expects the conflict in Ukraine to last years.
“I do think this is a very protracted conflict, and I think it’s measured in years. I don’t know about decade, but at least years for sure,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley told the House Armed Services Committee Tuesday during testimony on the defense budget.
“This is a very extended conflict that Russia has initiated and I think that NATO, the United States, Ukraine and all of the allies and partners supporting Ukraine will be involved in this for quite some time,” Milley said.
