At the same time, he noted that it is too premature to talk about the outcome of the operation.
"I think the Ukrainians are very well prepared. As you well know, the United States, other allied countries in Europe and in fact around the world are helping the Ukrainians with training, ammunition, advice, intelligence, and so on," Milley said.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine admitted that the Ukrainian army is trying to conduct offensive operations in some areas of the front.
The Ukrainian army attempted offensive operations in the areas of the settlements of Novodarivka, Levadnoye, as well as the Oktyabrsky state farm and Novodonetsk.
Later it became known that Russian troops destroyed 1.5 thousand soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and eight Leopard tanks in the South Donetsk direction.
