Too early to tell impact of mutiny on Putin: Gen. Milley
Gen. Mark Milley, the U.S. military's top general, told reporters Friday that it's likely too early to tell the impact of the Wagner Group mutiny on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"We want to know the answer to that question," Milley said when asked at the National Press Club if Yevgeny Prigozhin's mutiny had left Putin weakened. "I don't think we have evidence, conclusive evidence, either way, yet too early to tell."
Milley acknowledged that Ukraine's counteroffensive is making steady progress, but moving slowly -- something he said was not surprising given how tough of a fight it is.
"At the end of the day, Ukrainian soldiers are assaulting through minefields and in the trenches, and this is literally a fight for their life. So yes, sure, it goes a little slow, but that is part of the nature of war," Milley said.
He also noted that the U.S. is considering sending cluster munitions to Ukraine, though no decision has been made.
