According to top US general Mark Milley, more than 100,000 Russian military men have died or been injured in Ukraine, and the same number of fatalities have probably been sustained by Kyiv’s forces.
Speaking at the Economic Club of New York, Milley remarked, “You’re looking at well over 100,000 Russian soldiers killed and injured.”
The Ukrainian side presumably experienced the same thing.
The numbers released by Milley, which could not be independently verified, are the most exact information the US administration has provided thus far after more than eight months of the conflict.
A military triumph for either Russia or Ukraine may not be conceivable, according to Milley, who also mentioned the possibility of peace negotiations to resolve the conflict.
Milley remarked, “There needs to be a mutual acknowledgement that military victory probably can’t be achieved via military means in the traditional meaning of the word, and you need to shift to other ways.”
“This is a window of opportunity for discussion,” the speaker said.
Milley made his remarks after Russia gave the order for its soldiers to leave Kherson in southern Ukraine, dealing a severe setback to Moscow’s military operation.
However, Kyiv authorities responded cautiously, saying it was doubtful the Russian army would leave the important city unopposed, and US President Joe Biden claimed the pullback was proof Moscow has “serious challenges” on the battlefield.
