We are also hearing from Gen Mark Milley, the US chair of joint chiefs of staff.Ukraine has little more than 30 days left of fighting before the weather hinders its counter-offensive, the top-ranking US military officer says.
He admits the offensive had gone more slowly than expected. But he says:"There's still heavy fighting going on.Gen Milley says it was too early to say whether the counter-offensive had failed, but said Ukraine was"progressing at a very steady pace through the Russian front lines". "There's still a reasonable amount of time, probably about 30 to 45 days' worth of fighting weather left, so the Ukrainians aren't done."
