Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley on Sunday warned of potential Russian reactions to losing territory in Ukraine, Reuters reported.

“The war is not going too well for Russia right now. So it’s incumbent upon all of us to maintain high states of readiness, alert,” Milley said in Warsaw, Poland, the outlet reported.

Milley warned that Putin’s response was unpredictable, and that the war could change course quickly.

Milley told reporters U.S. troops stationed in Poland and elsewhere in Europe were not necessarily under increased threat.
