Colin Kahl, undersecretary of defence for policy, told members of the House of Representatives that Russian forces are unlikely to make significant territorial gains in the next year.
“You may see small portions of territory change hands in the coming weeks and months. I do not think that there’s anything I see that suggests the Russians can sweep across Ukraine and make significant territorial gains anytime in the next year or so.”
“It is difficult [to predict how long we will need to support Ukraine through the war] as we do not know the exact trajectory of the conflict. The conflict may end in six months, or it may end in two or three years,” the official said.
He described the war’s frontlines as a “grinding slog”.
