Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin outlined for reporters the threat posed by Russia to Ukraine, saying, “While we don’t believe President Putin has made a final decision to use these forces against Ukraine, he clearly now has that capability.” Both the defense secretary and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General Mark Milley said Russia’s activity around Ukraine is different than previous posturing. “This is larger in scale and scope and the massing of forces than anything we have seen in recent memory,” said General Milley. “And I think you’d have to go back quite a while into the Cold War days to see something of this magnitude.” Both military leaders repeatedly urged a diplomatic solution to the situation. close
