The EU’s top general warned in an interview with the German Die Welt this week that the Russian war machine has much more longevity than most observers believe and that the current Ukrainian counteroffensive is failing to produce the results needed to restore the nation’s full territorial integrity.
Four-star Austrian general and chair of the European Union’s Military Committee (EUMC) General Robert Brieger said he was “cautious to expect a breakthrough” by Ukrainian ground forces as President Zelensky again reiterated his country’s commitment to retaking Crimea, which has been under Russian occupation since 2014.
