One year after the invasion of Ukraine by Vladimit Putin’s armed forces, Russia lost. This statement was made by General Mark Milley, head of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a press conference in Brussels. “In 10 days it will be the anniversary of the day Russia invaded” Ukraine. “Putin thought he could defeat Ukraine quickly, split the NATO alliance and act with impunity. He was wrong. Ukraine remains free, remains independent,” the senior US official said.
The effect of the attack was to rally the West and to isolate and deplete the Russian economy. “NATO and the coalition have never been stronger, while Russia is now a global pariah. The world continues to be inspired by Ukraine’s courage and resilience. Simply put, Russia lost. It lost strategically, operationally, tactically and is paying a huge price on the battlefield.” Not only. “Ukraine is not alone: 54 countries came together today to ensure Kiev can defend itself” from Russian aggression, Milley stressed.
As long as “Putin does not end the war by choice”, the international community “will continue to support Ukraine with the necessary equipment and means to defend itself”, Milley stressed. Who also spoke of the shooting down of the unidentified object sighted in Lake Huron. The first missile fired on Sunday by a US fighter did indeed miss its target and “fell undamaged” into the water, while the second missile successfully hit the target.
