Ukrainian counteroffensive slower than predicted, but advancing - US Army's Milley

The Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russian forces is "going slower than people had predicted," but is making steady progress, US Army General Mark Milley said on Friday.

"It's going slower than people had predicted. Doesn't surprise me," Miley told an audience at the National Press Club. "It is advancing steadily, deliberately, working it's way through very difficult minefields, et cetera."
