2On February 24, 2022, Russia launched its ‘Special Military Action’ war against Ukraine. Putin has forbidden even calling this military operation a ‘war’. For two months after the start of the war, Russia attacked Ukraine from the north-west, north and north-east at the same time. For this, Belarus and Chechnya armies came to Russia’s aid. However, Russia could not capture even a single important town under Ukraine in two months of continuous offensive. Following this, the Russian army, which has retreated from North-West and North Bhangal of Ukraine, has been attacking Ukraine from the East and South for the past four months. While Russia claims to have captured parts of eastern Ukraine, including the Donbos, fighting continues in these areas. Meanwhile, Britain revealed that Russia had suffered heavy damage in the invasion of Ukraine while completing the six-month war. Britain claimed that 30 percent of the Russian army had already been lost.

When the war began in February, experts in the field of warfare warned that Russia, the world’s second most armed force, would overrun the 22nd most armed Ukraine in just two weeks.

The Russian military has yet to overcome the personal influence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who, unlike other political leaders who defected when the country faced disaster, faced a war head-on.

While Russia claims to have conquered areas such as Mariupol and Donbos in eastern Ukraine, reports are coming out that Russian forces are often losing ground in these areas to guerrilla fighters who mix with the Ukrainian army and civilians.

According to reports, Olipore fighters are targeting Russian general-rank soldiers and Russia has already lost around 10 army generals. Meanwhile, Britain’s revelation that Russia has lost 30 percent of its weapons capabilities comes out.

30 percent of Russia’s forces were lost in the war in Ukraine, with 50,000 soldiers killed or wounded. Around 1,700 tanks that were part of Putin’s army were also destroyed, and 4,000 of Russia’s armored fighting vehicles were also destroyed, the UK’s Chief of the Defense Staff revealed.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the head of the UK armed forces, has said that Vladimir Putin has ‘already lost the war in Ukraine’. He told BBC One’s Sunday Morning program that Ukraine plans to restore “their entire territory”. He added that speculation that Putin could be assassinated was ‘hopeful thinking’.

‘You see a Russia. If we focus on Donbas, it is less than 10 percent of Ukraine’s territory. The war has been over for 150 days.’ He said. “Russia is still struggling to capture that territory. He added that Russia has not been able to capture even that 10 percent because of the courage and determination of the Ukrainian armed forces.

The UK Chief of Defense Staff added that Ukraine’s military believes that victory will be with them in the fight against Russia, which has lost more than 30 percent in ground combat. Sir Tony warns that Russia is still the UK’s biggest threat despite huge losses in troops, tanks and armored fighting vehicles.

But he dismissed speculation that the Russian president would be assassinated. As military professionals, we see a relatively stable regime in Russia, he added. Admiral Sir Radakin said Russia wanted to capture Ukrainian cities within the first 30 days when the Kremlin started the war.

Russia wanted to create cracks in the world order and thereby put pressure on NATO. This Russia is a challenge to the world order. However, today Russia is failing in all those ambitions. He added that Russia today is a much thinner nation than it was at the beginning of February.

They have suffered many setbacks in the land war. But, at the same time, Russia is still a nuclear power. It has its own cyber capability. There is space power. Russia has many projects in the sea. Because of this, Russia is still a threat to the world’s undersea cables.

He added that they would be reminded of their ‘extraordinary responsibility to the UK as a nuclear power’. We always give them a brief description of the current situation. So they know where our armed forces are,” he said.

He also responded by increasing defense spending to three percent of UK GDP. He said it would enable the UK’s military to become more modern, punch harder and have greater influence around the world. However, he added that increasing defense spending is the government’s choice.

Yesterday, Chinese Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered the attack against Ukraine to be more powerful and dramatic. According to local reports, Shoigu issued specific instructions to further increase the operations of military troops in all operational areas.

Even six months into the war, Russian military experts say that Russia will do anything to cover up the setback to the Russian army, which has no significant military victories to claim. Currently, the eastern part of Ukraine is in a worse condition than Europe after World War II.

Not even a small usable building. All the water bodies were mixed with gunpowder etc. and became unusable. The pictures are full of mines. Even the air smells of gunpowder. Reports say that the Russian army is still fighting for such a devastated area.
