Ukraine's Long and Bloody Counteroffensive: US General's Warning

The US' highest-ranking military officer, Gen Mark Milley, has warned that Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russia will be long and bloody, acknowledging that progress has been slower than expected. He stated that the nature of war is different from what is planned on paper, with real people dying and being shredded by explosives. Gen Milley emphasized that the fight for Ukraine is a fight for their lives, and the US is providing as much help as possible. Meanwhile, Ukraine's military commander-in-chief expressed frustration over the slow delivery of promised weapons from the West. The head of the CIA, William Burns, also made an unannounced visit to Ukraine to discuss the counter-offensive and reaffirm US commitment to intelligence-sharing.
