Details: He said that the US assessed the Ukrainian military to be well-prepared "for whatever they do — they choose to fight in the offensive fight or in the defense".

Milley added that the fighting will be challenging and will last for a long time.

Quote: "There will be days you see a lot of activity and there will be days you may see very little activity. There will be offensive actions and defense actions. So this will be a back-and-forth fight for a considerable length of time," he said
