Ukraine is "humiliating" Russia on the battlefield and "wiping the floor with them in terms of world opinion", says a UK military expert.
Prof Michael Clarke, former director of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) think tank, says: "The Russians are making almost every tactical mistake it is possible to make."
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he explains: "They [Russian troops] look like forces that were completely unprepared, that hadn’t thought through what a major campaign might look like.
"The Ukrainians are stalling the Russian advance in all areas and even operating now quite effective counter attacks. The Russians are losing a lot of equipment and troops."

Because Putkn doesn’t want to Grozny Uke cities
Not yet
He’s not stupid
The west despite all their blowhard virtue signaling and globalist intent the media tech mafia sees dead Ukes and Chechen Barbarians as to different sets of victims
The Uke army has been encircled ..a napoleonic victory for Russia
He’s pressing slowly limiting total destruction till the west tells Zelensky to give it up
But not till this crisis hasn’t been not wasted enough for Washington and Brussels
Meanwhile Uke civilians suffer in vain for a lost cause...
I think Putin wants to incorporate the Uke population into Greater Russia. That’s why the siege. If he was willing to slaughter them he’d have rolled up artillery tubes and simply started pounding away. I don’t see a way the Ukes could defend against it. They are greatly outnumbered and Russia has short supply lines. Ukes have a lot of spirit but they are in a bad position. Encouraging them to keep fighting just gets more of them killed, pointlessly. Who’s right has nothing to do with who will win.
There ae no good guys in this, not even the US government. I find it funny that people that are ostensibly patriotic Americans have fallen firmly behind the Global Reset banner on this because of "Russia, Russia, Russia".
That and a dime, quarter, $2 and a Starbuck coupon will get you a cupacoffee.
What this country needs are MORE shiny objects!
I concur
Your post raises a question on my mind. How do you differentiate between a second world country and a third world country?
I believe Russia is on the line. In some aspects 2nd and other aspects 3rd world.
The Putin bluff has been exposed for all to see
You aren’t wrong.
No. PIF will be the first in line to make YOU comply.
Uh...no. I’m not buying anything the media is pushing. Including ukraine.
China now knows that.
China wants Russia’s land.
China will take Russia’s land.
