Top US, Ukraine military chiefs meet for 1st time; Russia says they are in control of Soledar
The top US military officer, Army General Mark Milley, met his Ukrainian counterpart for the first time near the Ukraine-Poland border on Tuesday. The meeting between the two chiefs underlines the growing ties between the two militaries and comes at a critical time as Russia’s war with Ukraine nears the one-year mark.
Meanwhile, Russian-installed authorities in Ukraine’s Donetsk region said they were in control of Soledar. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said later that fighting for Soledar and other eastern towns and cities was continuing, reported news agency Reuters.
