Top US general says Russia has already 'lost' the Ukraine war and has paid an 'enormous price on the battlefield'

• Gen. Mark Milley said Russia has "lost" in Ukraine as the war approaches the one-year mark.
• "They've lost strategically, operationally, and tactically," Milley said. 
• Russia has suffered massive casualties in Ukraine and failed in its initial war aims. 

As the war in Ukraine approaches the one-year mark, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley said Tuesday that Russia has "lost." 

Russian President Vladimir Putin "thought he could defeat Ukraine quickly, fracture the NATO alliance, and act with impunity. He was wrong," Milley said while speaking to reporters in Brussels.
