The Pentagon expects the war in Ukraine to be"prolonged," spokesman John Kirby stated during Friday's briefing. Kirby's comments come as the Russians' invasion in Ukraine stretches into its eighth week.
Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 on three axes: from the north, south, and east. The troops coming from Belarus, which borders Ukraine to the north, were tasked with achieving Moscow's key objective of toppling the capital, Kyiv. These forces were able to get within roughly 10-15 miles of the city center, but they couldn't get closer. Ukrainian opposition forces successfully defended the capital until Russia withdrew those troops.
Senior Russian Cmdr. Rustam Minnekayev claimed Friday that Moscow now wants"full control" of southern Ukraine in addition to the Donbas region in the east. "The truth is, and I'm sure you're tired of me saying this, but it could end today. It could end now if Mr. Putin pulled his forces out and stopped this illegal invasion and sat down in good faith with Mr. Zelensky," he said."Clearly, he has no intention of doing that. I understand it, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't still be said."
