Gen. Milley says Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if Russia decides to invade Ukraine: sources
Fox News ^ | Feb. 5, 2022 | Jacqui Heinrich , Adam Sabes

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told lawmakers that Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine takes place, multiple congressional sources tell Fox News.

Milley told lawmakers during closed-door briefings on Feb. 2 and 3 that a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine could result in the fall of Kyiv within 72-hours, and could come at a cost of 15,000 Ukrainian troop deaths and 4,000 Russian troop deaths.

Several lawmakers expressed concern that the Biden administration did not respond quickly to provide Ukraine with significant military aid, such as anti-aircraft and rocket launcher systems that would defend against an invasion from Russia.

Biden administration officials at the meetings responded to these concerns by saying that a significant supply of military aid to Ukraine could be used as a reason to invade Ukraine.

While Ukraine is receiving security assistance from the United States through a $200 million allocation made in December, it is also receiving $600 million in assistance from the United Kingdom and Baltic states, which the country is depending heavily upon and includes anti-tank Javelin missiles and older-version Stinger portable anti-aircraft missiles.

Sounds like Mark is setting the stage for a false-flag to instigate a war between Russia and Ukraine.

He didn't want to defend Washington DC against Antifa and BLM, but is eager to defend Kiev against the Russians.

Go figure.

Both sides are whites

Maybe he is just trying to understand the rage better?

This is like a real-life “Seven Days in May,” except with a different ending in which the Burt Lancaster general successfully deposes the president.

The weapons being furnished are offensive...not defensive. I thought that wasn’t going to happen.

Why doesnโ€™t Russia put some of the Asians from their far east on TV and accuse NATO of being anti-Asian? Two can play this game.

Has Williie Millie seen a map?

Kharkiv maybe and it will be bloody. Kiev, Never not without 300K troops coming across the border at once headed straight to Kiev and a plan for 50,000 of them to be dead.

Milley is an idiot.

Joe's diaper will fill within 7-2 minutes any time of the day.

Milley-Vanilli has got a Presidential diaper-changing ribbon amongst the salad on his ample midsection.
