In winter, hostilities in Ukraine may be suspended. However, weather conditions allow the offensive of both Ukrainian and Russian troops. This was announced by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley.
"But right now the situation on the ground is that the lines are stabilizing and as winter comes things will slow down a little bit because of the frost. Then there will be a potential opportunity for offensive action on both sides because of the weather and the terrain. So we'll see what happens with that." , - he said.
At the same time, Milli emphasized that Russian missile strikes on civilian and energy infrastructure did not break Ukrainians. In addition, these attacks do not affect the progress of the event on the front.
"They are trying to break the backbone, break the will of the Ukrainian people. You will see that this is not a broken backbone, but an increase in the level of stability and resistance on the part of the Ukrainian people," he added.
The US general emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to make mistakes after a series of defeats.
