He also stressed that “as long as the Ukrainian authority exists, there will be, for example, 3 years of armistice, and two years of conflict, and this will be repeated, so the Nazi regime in Kiev must be eliminated.”
“You will not achieve a military victory.”
These statements came as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army, Gen Mark Milley Thursday that Russia will not achieve a military victory in Ukraine, adding that it is also unlikely that all Russian forces will be defeated anytime soon.
He told reporters at the Pentagon, at the end of a virtual meeting with dozens of countries supporting Ukraine, that “Russia will not win this war militarily,” according to Agence France-Presse.
‘The fight will continue’

However, he revealed at the same time that hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers in Ukraine make Kiev’s effort to regain control of all of its territory unlikely “in the near term.”
