Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley says the Ukrainians are essentially keeping their powder dry while working their way through lethal defenses that the Russians have had months to set up.

"... lots of complex minefields, dragons' teeth, barbed wire, trenches, et cetera."

Noting while war games had predicted certain levels of advance, there's a difference between war on paper and real war.

值得注意的是，虽然军事演习预测了一定程度的进展，但纸面上的战争和真正的战争是有区别的。

"These are real people in real machines that are out there really clearing real minefields and they're really dying."

“这些都是真实的人，在真实的战争器械里，在战场清理雷区，他们真的是在死亡边缘。”

Milley spoke after he and Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin met with the defense leaders from around the world to discuss Ukraine's military needs.

米利和五角大楼首席执行官劳埃德·奥斯汀会见了来自世界各地的国防领导人，讨论了乌克兰的军事需求。
