US General: Russia’s control over eastern Ukraine is uncertain
The senior US military official added on Wednesday that anything could happen in the war. War has many changes. But I can not say that Russia’s control over eastern Ukraine is certain. However the numbers are clearly in the Russians’ favor.
Milli said that “probably three-quarters or more of the Ukrainian city of Sorodontsk has been occupied by Russian forces” but that “Ukrainians are fighting them street to street, house to house.”
He also described the current stage of the war as “very similar to World War I”, noting that Russia’s progress in the region has been “very slow and very difficult”.
“The Russians are facing a lot of problems,” he said. They have command and control issues, logistics, willpower, leadership and a wide range of other issues. The Russians have also suffered heavy casualties.
