Ukraine-Russia war LIVE: Europe funding Putin’s war! Fury as EU STILL lining pockets | World | News

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has said that Russia has “failed to deliver” its “Day one” objectives. 

Speaking on Sky News, he said: “Our assessment as of this morning is that Russia has not taken any of its major objectives, in fact it is behind its hoped-for timetable.

“They’ve lost over 450 personnel. One of the significant airports they were trying to capture with their elite Spetsnaz has failed to be taken. In fact, the Ukrainians have taken it back.

“So, I think contrary to great Russian claims and indeed President Putin’s sort of vision that somehow the Ukrainians would be liberated and would be flocking to his cause – he’s got that completely wrong. The Russian army has failed to deliver on day one its main objective.”
