General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told lawmakers Tuesday that he expects the fighting in Ukraine to continue for years.

Gen. Mark Milley: “But I do think this is a very protracted conflict, and I think it’s at least measured in years. I don’t know about decade, but at least years, for sure. This is a very extended conflict that Russia has initiated, and I think that NATO, the United States, Ukraine and all of the allies and partners that are supporting Ukraine are going to be involved in this for quite some time.”
