Default Re: Russia v Ukraine

There are reports that Russian forces have captured territory in Ukraine roughly the size of Spain (sourced from Sky News so not sure how true). They also seem to have control of the Zaporizhia NPP, largest in Europe, key strategic ports, and access to the Black Sea and Sea of Azov. All this whilst using old ineffective equipment against $billions of sophisticated weapons. Yikes.

An interesting update from Ritter. The interviewer challenges some of his earlier statements. Ritter reckons the $40b lend lease act has changed the game on the political front, and it is now unlikely Putin will achieve his political objectives. However, maintains the military objectives will be met, doesn't seem to be in any doubt.
