The Pentagon believes that Kyiv has not lost Donbass yet

General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, said that US authorities believe that Donbass is “not yet lost” to Kyiv, and expects the fighting to continue.

He pointed out that the military operations in Donbass are taking place to the point of exhaustion. Milley also acknowledged that Russia had achieved “certain increased tactical success” in the Donbass, but had failed to achieve its “strategic and operational objectives.”

According to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the West is determined to provide Kyiv with the weapons needed for long-term “deterrence and self-defense”.

Earlier, CNN published an article saying that US President Joe Biden’s officials are “losing confidence” that Kyiv will be able to “reclaim” the ground lost over the past four months, even with receiving “heavier and more advanced weapons” from the United States. countries and their allies.
