I figured Putin would have put in at least 110%.

Putin needs to achieve something big and soon or it’s bye-bye time, imo.

UK Defense Secretary: Russia Has 97 Percent of Armed Forces Deployed in Ukraine

Excellent! The UK "Military" should be able to take Moscow and everything to the East of it in less than a week, ....

unless they're scared to death, which is more likely.

“”We now estimate 97% of the whole Russian army is in Ukraine,” Wallace told the BBC on Wednesday.”

My dog predicted 51%. I trust my dog.

From a similar WSJ article:

“We now estimate 97% of the whole Russian army is in Ukraine,” U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace told the British Broadcasting Corp.’s “Today” show on Wednesday.

Russian forces were trying to advance on all fronts, he said, adding: “We haven’t actually seen this massing of a single force to punch through in a big offensive. We’ve just seen an effort to advance, and that has come at a huge cost to the Russian army.”

Even if they are off, by a LOT, not looking great for the invaders.

NOBODY believes 97%.

Not even the UK Defense Secretary or the guy who wrote the article.

9/10 Western Ukrainians surveyed say 97% of Russian forces are mobilized against Ukraine. 97% consensus!

There is virtually no way this could be accurate.

Maybe he was misquoted.

Do they pull this BS out of their ass and then publish it? How do they know it 97%, or 27%. They don’t care when they get caught making crap up, or outright lying, because like all Libs and Mooselimbs, its OK to lie if its for the good of the sheeple.

This sounds like he means in terms of deplorable army units for power projection, Putin is not going to leave Russia defended by only 3% of the army.

This also means Russia does not view NATO as a threat to its borders since Russia is throwing so much into Ukraine.

Update for Russian military operations in Ukraine for February 15, 2023:

- Ukrainian forces continue to lose ground along the line of contact;

-Bakhmut faces encirclement by Russian forces which Ukraine admits is using heavy artillery shelling, not "human waves" to destroy Ukrainian positions;

- NATO begins to admit to limits of what it can send Ukraine in terms of weapons and ammunition;

- Efforts by Western nations to increase production will still fall far short even after several years of expanding production lines;

- US announces plan to train Ukrainian forces to fight on less ammunition, using maneuver warfare instead;

-This requires long periods of complex training to be effective and is impractical for Ukrainian forces;

- The US is signaling that it is simply attempting to draw out the conflict for as long as possible;

I think Pootie isn't what the UK really needs to worry about...

The UK will treat online images of immigrants crossing the Channel as a criminal offence On 17 January, the United Kingdom (UK) government announced that online platforms will have to proactively remove images of immigrants crossing the Channel in small boats under a new amendment to be tabled to the Online Safety Bill.

Who needs Putin, eh?
