A Russian columnist recently appeared on television and gave a damning assessment of the situation in Ukraine from Russia's perspective.

Mikhail Kodaryonok was on a Russian-state-owned television channel Monday as part of a panel where he discussed the situation in Ukraine and the rather dire circumstances in which Russia finds itself.

Khodaryonok continued on and painted an even grimmer situation for Russia. He talked about the vast supply of arms that are soon likely to be available to the Ukrainians.

"But the situation from the overall strategic position is that the Ukrainian armed forces are able to arm a million people. They're saying it themselves, that 'for us, there's no difficulty mobilizing a million people.' The whole issue is to what extent they're able to supply this army of modern weapons and military hardware.

Mandy O'Brien AKA Bombard’s Body Language is not needed to read these people. They are scared to tell the truth, scared to tell the truth to each other, and find it easier to tell expected lies to protect themselves. Mikhail Kodaryonok is not exaggerating about a million Ukrainian soldiers. The idea of Ukraine training and employing one million highly motivated, NATO trained and equipped soldiers, genuinely scares him. He is also scared that most of the world is backing Ukraine.
