WASHINGTON, January 20 – RIA Novosti. Chief of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said that the conflict in Ukraine should end diplomatically, while admitting that this year the Ukrainian army is unlikely to be able to “push Russian forces” out of all occupied territories.
“This war, like many others, must end with a negotiated settlement, it’s time for the Russians and Ukrainians to come to the negotiating table,” Milley said at a news conference after the results of the latest Germany meetings of the contact group for support for Ukraine.
He stressed that the leadership of the United States, Ukraine and most European leaders “have said that this war will probably end with negotiations.” “Sooner or later, negotiations have to take place,” Milli said, emphasizing that both sides had already suffered serious losses.
