The British BBC reported that Mark Milley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, told host Kuenssberg on the BBC’s flagship political program “Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg” on the 10th, The Ukrainian army only has about 30 days left before weather factors affect Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
Milley said colder weather would make Ukrainian operations more difficult. He admitted that Ukraine’s offensive was slower than expected, but said: “Fierce fighting continues. The Ukrainian army is still advancing steadily.”
Milley said it was too early to talk about whether the Ukrainian army’s counterattack had failed, adding that the Ukrainian army “is crossing the Russian front line at a very steady pace.” He said: “The Ukrainian army still has a long time, and the weather suitable for fighting is about 30 to 45 days. There are still some battles that have not been completed, and they have not completed the combat part of the mission they are trying to achieve.”
The BBC pointed out that the Ukrainian army launched a counterattack this summer with the goal of liberating the territory occupied by the Russian army, but so far only slight progress has been made. However, Ukrainian generals claimed that they had broken through the first line of defense of the formidable Russian army in the south.
