On the eighth floor, they could see the arm of a bloodied elderly woman, so buried in debris she could barely move, waving a piece of red fabric. Below her, dozens of apartments had collapsed, swallowing residents into some 30 feet of rubble. From inside the damaged building, she was somehow alive - and calling for help. Russia's blatant attack on civilians here - the worst to strike this city since Russia invaded Ukraine last February - came just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed his most senior military officer, Gen.

"This is not a run-of-the-mill rotation," Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said of the curriculum. "This is one of those moments in time where if you want to make a difference, this is it." The general's visit marked his first trip to this facility in the muddy Bavarian countryside since Russia's invasion of Ukraine nearly a year ago. The base, covering roughly 90 square miles, began hosting Ukrainian forces in 2014, when Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula. It's now the site of a newly expanded regimen for the Ukrainian military, which sent a … [Read more...] about Pentagon’s top general meets Ukrainians training with U.S. troops
