Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg was also scathing about Russia's military record in Ukraine.
-snip-
He also issued a blunt assessment of Russia’s military record in Ukraine, arguing that Mr Putin’s forces had failed to achieve any decisive victories.
Mr Kellogg said: “Russia's not winning this war. Russia has not made any major advances in the last year and a half.
"They haven't taken the city of Kyiv, the capital, they haven't pushed to the west of the Dnipro river (which is the major river obstacle), they haven't taken Odesa.
“They've lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and they haven't really moved anything."
“Russia moves by metres, not by miles. And the Ukrainians are fighting on their own soil, and they are fighting hard.
“So when Russia says they're winning — no, they're not. If they were winning, they would have already won this war.
"So I think they need to sit back and realise it. I think Ukraine's in a good position. The Europeans really stepped up.”

So Gen. Kellogg disagrees. What does Gen. Mills say?
It’s obvious that Russia stopped capturing Ukrainian territory after Putin blew up his best general Prigozhin. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
Just end the war.
No one is winning except the weapons manufacturers.
Not exactly unprecedented in Russian history.

“The U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW), said on Monday that gains were made in the Russian border region of Belgorod; near the cities of Siversk, Toretsk, Pokrovsk, and Velyka Novosilka in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region; and in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region.”
Define major?
Putin is no different from Stalin, or for that matter from Obama: in the choice between good flag officers and dowhattheyretold flag officers, the former always get the boot.
Should the U.S. become part of Russia?
So Trump pressures the EU to put more skin in the game. Will it help?
Somebody sure does love his sleazy British tabloids.
Russia sacrificing 50 troops in a meat assault to capture a tree line 100 yards away is not winning.
General Kellogg made these statements on Fox News yesterday.
Why not just post the Fox News article?
You should be mad at Putin instead for blowing up his best general Prigozhin.
Putin blew up his best general Prigozhin. Lol!
Should put General Kellogg in charge of Ukraine’s army if he thinks the war is going good for Ukraine.
“The Europeans really stepped up.”
(snort, snort)
General Kellogg works for President Trump.
The Russians could do that easily by just going home.
