US General Says Ukraine Counter-offensive Will Be Long and Bloody

The US highest-ranking military officer has said Ukraine’s counter-offensive against Russia will be difficult and “very bloody.

Gen Mark Milley said he was not surprised that progress had been slower than predicted – but added that Ukraine was “advancing steadily”.

This comes as the Ukraine President accused “some” Western partners of delaying promised training for Ukrainian pilots.

Several Western countries have pledged to train Kyiv’s pilots on US-made F-16 fighter jets, but the Ukrainian president said some allies had been “dragging their feet” on the promise.
