that is from general mark milley, a member of the joint chiefs. do you think that there is an opportunity for a diplomatic solution? i do, for a number of reasons. one is that the russians are going to have a very hard time going beyond the line of control that is now in place in ukraine. they are digging in, defensively. i think putin long ago abandoned his goal of seizing kyiv. that proved to be too difficult for russians to pull off. he is now going to have to abandon the goal of going after ukraine's southern coast. this is really now a battle of holding the territory that the russians now have in the donbas and the land bridge that connects the russian federation to the crimean peninsula what that means, i think is the russians might well be open to some sort of negotiated settlement in all of this. their ambitions, i think, have changed quite significantly. the other part of this is ukraine. the united states has said from the start of this war was that our goal was to put the ukrainians in a strong position in the battlefield. that can tran

well , taking into account the fact that mark milley is such a face-to -face american army commander, he expressed doubt that ukraine will be able to completely liberate all its territories up to the borders of 1991. i can relate, i believe that we have the possibilities to liberate the borders according to 1991, we have all the possibilities, the main thing is that the support of our international partners does not decrease or a lot depends on them, and as for the change of the front line, then by the end of 2022 as at least i see changes in the front line in luhansk oblast. and here there are prospects , a rather serious prospect of positive er development of positive events in the svatov region and svatov as well as in the direction of the flint and today there is a group of russian occupiers it enough well, let's put it mildly well, not in comfortable conditions, but near svatovo one way or another, but an operational encirclement of their group of troops can be formed, and when this operational encirclement is already clear, they will have only one option, the same as was in the

>> general mark milley, the top u.s.eral, gave a quite clear assessment of that today, saying that the chances of russi conquering all of ukraine work close to zero. he said however that russia did occupy 20% of the country, which was not a small chunk of territory and that ukraine had made some military advances recently but it was relatively small compared to the big picture and that if you define military victory as kicking russia out of the country, chances of that were not high. he said there is a possibility of a political solution if russia withdrew and that they were hurting bad and on their back and that strategically if your enemy is suffering, you might want to negotiate at that point but he did not say to the ukrainians you should negotiate, he stuck with the u.s. line that it is totally up to the ukrainians and in the meantime the u.s. would stand firm in military assistance and support. laura: interesting. thank you. donald trump confirming that he will seek the republican presidential nomination in 2024. h

to the crimean group and in general to the southern group of occupation forces american general mark milley said that in the war in ukraine more than killed and wounded 100,000 russian soldiers if we talk about the official statistics of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, then 78 more than 78,000 russians have already been killed. well, you have to multiply that by two or three there will be losses, which are the so-called sanitary losses. zelenskyi says that ukraine's losses are 10 times smaller than the russian percentage , he said in an interview with cnn . that the ministry of defense of the russian federation, if i am not mistaken, last reported in april, or, in my opinion , even in july there was already a figure, if i am not mistaken , of 4.5 or 5,000 there are approximately losses of the russian army, what is the real figure of the losses of the russian army, i will be the closest figure this is the one voiced by ours general staff that is, these are losses both in terms of personnel and in terms of equipment, we need to understand that american or any international e

more american official - this is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states, mark milleyhim just the day before, he gave an estimate of the losses of both the ukrainian and the russian side, and he did not specify where he got this information from, but according to him, more than 100,000 soldiers were killed and wounded on the russian side. but at the same time, he said that from the ukrainian side parties, the same, to what extent from your point of view these data can be true, i don't know where the commander of the joint chiefs of staff got the information from negotiations, well, it's true. yes, it seems to me that the general has gone a little out of his parish here, i'm just commenting. he needs to prepare, prepare, he needs to prepare the armed forces of the united states for use in the war against russia, and not engage in politics. i think you think this was a political statement about the loss of the negotiations. general well, of course it's politics. well, maybe he called it a window of opportunity. he said that now a window of opportunity is appearing . it i

of the hostilities made by the head of the joint staff committee of the united states, general mark milley, the general noted the successful offensives of our soldiers in the kherson region and kharkiv region and noted that the invaders did not achieve any goal in in the war against ukraine, the occupying army will lose the strategic one operationally and tactically, and russia can end this war even today, but it does not want the military task of physically expelling the russians from ukraine is very difficult, it is a mentor in the coming weeks only if the russian army will not completely collapse, which is unlikely to happen, so the probability of a military victory in ukraine, which involves the expulsion of russians from the entire country, in particular crimea, in the near future is not high. politically , there may be a solution. meeting in the rammstein format, the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, announced that as a result, sweden announced the provision of a package of military aid to 287 million dollars, in particular, it will include air defense systems and amm

of the crimean group and the southern group of occupying forces in general, the american general mark milley said that more than 100,000 russian soldiers were killed and wounded in the war in ukraine. if we talk about the official statistics of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine , then 78 more than 78,000 russians have already been killed. multiply there by two or three, it will be just losses, which are so-called sanitary losses, zelenskyi says that ukraine lost 10 times less than the russian percentage, he said in an interview with cnn according to you, what is the number of losses of the russian army, because we know that the ministry of defense of the russian federation, if i am not mistaken, last reported in april, or in my opinion, even in july there was already a figure, if i am not mistaken 4 ,5 or 5,000. there are approximately losses of the russian army. what is the real number of losses of the russian army? i will be the closest. this figure is the one announced by our general staff. that is, these are losses both in terms of personnel and equipment. we must understa

come when they can sit down at the negotiating table your opponent member of the us general staff mark milleyhasizes how much we understand that ukrainians actually should start thinking about negotiations now. do you agree with this? in my opinion, this decision is solely up to president zelenskyi. i think our position is clear. we support ukraine. it was not ukraine that was attacked - it is ukraine. the other day in britain from world war i memorial day. and in europe, we now have a country that has undergone an illegal invasion. we have citizens in europe who are fighting with all their might to return their nation, and therefore we must respect that, that is, the united kingdom is not pushing ukraine but does not offer negotiations to ukraine. i think that great britain has always supported president zelensky and no changes on our side have taken place after kherson. what steps do you think putin can take? i mean that one of the problems for the west is that he is an unpredictable leader, there was a lot of talk about nuclear threats, but what else can be expected from him now, i think t

infrastructure of the country, trying to break the stability of the ukrainian people , this was noted by mark milley and it was said that the united states other countries ensure the provision of air defense systems and energy supplies for the ukrainian side, and when he was asked directly about what happened on the territory of poland and millia, and this is the price they stated that so far they do not have any other data that would refute the statements and assertions of the president of poland, people, that this was most likely a ukrainian missile that, during the execution of a combat mission, entered the territory of poland, you know that president zelenskyi refuses to admit that it could be a ukrainian s300 and insists on allowing ukraine to investigate those wreckages, we showed some wreckages, in principle, it is possible with the fact that they really resemble the s300 missile engine. i think we can those that is in the public domain and i also know that there is such an interesting theory. i had a little fun with it yesterday, but it is less popular as a hypothesis in social networks, and

i've always liked mark milley. know that there have been issues but i always thought he was really good at his game. and secretary austin is, you know, i'm really with these guys. i've been auditing a class by a yale professor, timothy speier. anyone interested in ukrainian history, even the biden administration, reach out to timothy snyder. it's the most interesting course i've ever audited before. it's online, anyway. you can see it. host: you mentioned lloyd austin, the defense secretary. the main reason for the news conference yesterday was to address the errant missal that exploded in poland. here is what secretary austin had to say.

it was very apparent to me and in general mark. milley that gus perna was the right guy and look he was about ready to retire and you came back he extended his active duty time and worked 24/7 and delivered for the american people. look we had our share of hiccups. but by the time i think president biden was inaugurated in january, we were delivering over a million doses a day to the american people just a tremendous effort and he and and our counterparts at hhs deserve a lot of credit. amen, and i enjoyed talking to him because he came from italian background like i did so we talked about our grandparents and had come from italy and of course the kind of foods that we like these spaghetti and meatballs a little glass of wine here and there so he was just a great leader and great accomplishment. let's talk a little bit about because i want to get into a series of questions. of the role of the secretary of defense the statute that governs the department of defense is primarily found in title 10 of us code and that was updated in 1986. i wa

mark milley said recently you want to negotiate at a time you're at your strength and your opponent ist weakness. and it's possible maybe there will be a political solution. this is just one voice but does this signal the limits of u.s. aid for what is now an open-ended war? >> i think general milley's comments reflect the fact that all wars have to end sometimes. they almost always end with a negotiated settlement, sometimes after a victory. in the case of ukraine though, both sides seem to think they're winning. the ukrainians are obviously gaining ground, the russians are not conceding the degree to which they've lost territory, other than in places like kherson. more importantly, vladimir putin sees winter coming and believes that plays to his advantage, that the ukrainians will freeze, given the infrastructure that russia has destroyed, particularly in recent weeks. that the nato nations will begin to crack and divide as the cost of heating oil and gas rise. now, he may be getting this wrong, and he may decide at some point to negotiate, but right now we've seen no indication that

then you have chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley and a few minutes ago senator ben cardinn bloomberg talking about the need for more sophisticated air defense for ukraine so i think in washington, there will definitely be in the lame-duck session of congress a pivotal looking toward what the u.s. can do to further arm ukraine and help them in this situation. kriti: that would be my next question. i believe you have quite a bit of experience reporting on congress as well. of course before covering the national security beat. i'm curious what the steps are here to get that additional help to ukraine. what does it require from congress? what does it require from the white house? daniel: there certainly needs to be a push from the white house yesterday i believe they put out what they will be asking for. i do not have the figures in front of me but i think it was to the tune of some 37 billion dollars to $47 billion -- to $40 billion, consistent with what they have asked for, lower than what was asked for this year. there is bipartisan consensus on capitol hill that the u.s. n

yesterday as a result of this, with russia back on its heels, the chairman of the joint chiefs, general mark milleyed time might be right for negotiation to bring the conflict to an end. what he said. >> the russian military is really hurting bad. so you want to negotiate at a time when you are at your strength on your opponent is at weakness. and it's possible, maybe, that there will be a political solution. all i'm saying -- >> john: the russian military is hurting bad, which is the case. but if you call a ceasefire and enter into negotiations, doesn't that give putin, no inclination to pull out of the donbas region, a chance to resupply and rest troops and go back at ukraine again come spring? >> that's exactly right. i would respectfully disagree with general milley. i know he's got a lot more expertise and background than i in the military affairs. but look, ukraine is not going to settle for negotiations with vladimir putin who has committed war crimes against their citizens. ukraine is going to keep on carrying this fight as far as they can to the finish. and as long as vladimir putin is in

i want to ask you about this comment by mark milley with what's going on in ukraine.aiming that all of their troops are gone from kherson in southern ukraine. here's general milley. watch. >> you've seen the ukraine military fight the russian military to a standstill. now what the future holds is not known with any degree of certainty. we think there's some possibilities here for some diplomatic solutions. >> martha: are we pushing them at this point towards a depp pillowmatic solution? >> i think we are. that's what jake sullivan did and suggested that president zelensky should be open but we're not forcing you to do it. what are you doing? you're bringing the subject up. you're implying that they should. i totally disagree with the arrogance that is the underlying here. that somehow we know better than they know. listen, what zelensky is doing, he still has the opportunity to retake territory. he's doing it right now in kherson. why would we stop that? makes no sense. putin wants cease fire now to stop the successful offense that is taking place. martha, it is not j
