General Milly: so far there is no threat of a Russian attack on Kyiv

The head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, says that so far the American side sees no signs of a possible Russian attack on Kyiv.

He said this at a press conference Tuesday following a meeting of the Contact Group on Ukrainian defense issues, reports a European Pravda correspondent from Brussels.

"There is always a potential threat (to Kyiv), threats from the air, threats of missile strikes. Kyiv is the capital and is an important target in this war. I would never rule out the Russian Federation's ability to launch an attack on Kyiv. But as of right now, we're not seeing any significant indications or warnings (about that)," Milley said.

As the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches, Western observers have begun to speculate that Russia could resort to another attempt to seize Kyiv, which it has already attempted in early 2022.
