At a joint press conference with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, he shared his vision of Russia’s strategy at this stage of the war.
“Russia has decided to use the time at its disposal to regroup its forces. At the same time, they are waging a campaign of terror, Ukrainian causing maximum suffering to the peaceful population in order to undermine the fighting spirit of Ukrainians,” he said.
According to Mili, the likelihood of Ukraine liberating Crimea by military means is still low.
“The likelihood of a military victory for Ukraine forcing the Russians out, even from Crimea. (..) The possibility that this could happen soon, from a military point of view, is low,” added the US general, indicating the fact that Russia maintains “significant combat forces” in Ukraine”.
“A political solution with the departure of the Russians is possible [no Krimas]. It’s possible,” Milly added.
