Seize the moment.” The following week, he repeated his suggestion that the time had arrived for negotiations — Ukraine’s successful counteroffensives around Kharkiv in the northeast and Kherson in the south meant Kyiv could negotiate from a position of strength.“Russia right now is on its back,” Milley said.Milley was wrong about WWI — the war was militarily winnable — and was done so by the Western al...
