I did see this today from Milley. I hope for the sake of Ukraine that it doesn't last for years.

Joint Chiefs chairman says Ukraine war could last 'years'

In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee Tuesday, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the U.S. and its allies should be prepared to counter Russian aggression in Eastern Europe for "quite some time."

“I do think this a very protracted conflict and I think it’s at least measured in years. I don’t know about a decade, but at least years, for sure," said Gen. Mark Milley, the nation's top military commander. "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."

Milley said it's still too soon to tell how Ukraine's fiercer than expected resistance might influence Moscow's plans in the future, but said the U.S. must be prepared to counter future Russian aggression as Moscow tries to expand its sphere of influence in Ukraine and other Eastern European nations.

"We are witness to the greatest threat to peace and security of Europe, and perhaps the world, in my 42 years of service in uniform," Milley said in his opening remarks at the hearing on the Defense Department's budget. "The Russian invasion of Ukraine is threatening to undermine not only European peace and stability, but the global peace and stability that my parents and a generation of Americans fought so hard to defend."
