US military chief, Gen. Mark Milley, said there may be a window of opportunity to negotiate an end to the conflict if and when the front lines stabilize during winter -(CNN)

“When there’s an opportunity to negotiate when peace can be achieved, seize it,”  Milley said. “Seize the moment.”

But if negotiations never materialized or failed, Milley said the US would continue to arm Ukraine, even as an outright military victory for either side looks increasingly unlikely.

“There has to be a mutual recognition that military victory is probably in the true sense of the word may be not achievable through military means, and therefore you need to turn to other means.” 

“I believe they’re doing it in order to preserve their force, to re-establish defensive lines south of the river, but that remains to be seen,” Milley said. “Right now, the early indicators are they’re doing what they say they’re doing and we’re seeing those early indicators.”
