Ukraine is unlikely to be able to expel Russian troops from Crimea shortly. This was announced by high-ranking officials of the US Ministry of Defense during a secret discussion for the Defense Committee of the House of Representatives of the US Senate. "Politico," writes that month.
Earlier, the administration of Volodymyr Zelensky was angered by Mark Milley, the head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, that Ukraine is unlikely to succeed in "kicking out Russian forces" from all the occupied territories.
It should be noted that in January, Milli stated that, in his opinion, it would be difficult to expel the Russian forces from all Ukrainian territories in 2023. He also noted that the conflict in Ukraine should be ended diplomatically.
"Zelensky's administration was angry because of Milli's statements," the publication cited a source.
