United States Army General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley (pictured right) said on Tuesday that the ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive against the Russian forces is "far from a failure" as it is "way too early to make that kind of call."

"There's a lot of fighting left to go" and Ukraine has a "significant amount of combat power not yet committed," Milley revealed at a press conference alongside US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin (pictured left).

Kiev is making "progress" and "Russia's losses continue to mount," according to Austin.
