Today, Thursday, the Russian special operation in Ukraine continues: units of the Russian army strike at the places of deployment of Ukrainian forces, and Kyiv continues its attempts to return its lands, which were controlled by Moscow with the support of the West.
In the latest development, US Chief of Staff General Mark Milley said there was little chance that Ukraine would push Russia to withdraw from its territory.
He ruled out the possibility of a Ukrainian victory now, and Milley confirmed that he supports a political solution aimed at ending the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The head of the US General Staff added that Russia maintains a significant combat potential on the territory of Ukraine.
Speaking of the talks, Milley said it was clear to President Biden that Ukraine owns the timing and format of the talks with Russia.
On the ground, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denied that the rocket that fell in Poland was launched by his forces and urged Zelensky to allow his country to visit the site, as well as demanding that it be given details of the investigation into the incident.
This came after Moscow urged Poland to stop what it called anti-Russian auctions. The Russian Defense Ministry stressed that the army did not strike targets in the area of the Ukrainian-Polish border, and all Warsaw’s statements about Moscow’s involvement are provocative.
Zelenskiy accused Moscow of hitting a farm in Poland yesterday, Tuesday, saying the behavior was a clear signal to the G20, “according to a report by France Press.”
On the other hand, a spokeswoman for the US National Security Service said that it is clear that Russia is the party responsible for the incident, “regardless of the outcome of the final findings.”
The White House said that Russia ultimately bears responsibility for the missile, while noting that nothing contradicts the hypothesis that the missile that hit Poland was fired from Ukrainian air defenses.
