Milley provided his most recent perspective on the war in Ukraine during a press conference with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in Germany following a high-stakes meeting at Ramstein Air Base with defense leaders from roughly 50 countries.

I do think it's very, very possible for the Ukrainians to run a significant tactical or even operational level offensive operation to liberate as much Ukrainian territory as possible."The Biden administration announced a significant $2.
U.S. and German defense officials denied there were any preconditions tying the U.S. possibly sending Ukraine its M1 Abrams tanks and Germany providing its Leopard tanks, or allowing other countries that have them to provide those as well, which they have declined to do so far. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said no decision had been made about sending their Leopard tanks, though he added they're"ready to move quickly" if a consensus is made.
