Frontline: The War in Ukraine and Global Security

“The conditions have not been set on the ground for Putin to realise he is not going to win.” False information from Russian generals means that Putin is in total denial about the fact that all of his military objectives have failed, says former British Army colonel and Frontline host Philip Ingram.

“The war is not going in any sense in Russia’s way.”Trump does not understand Putin’s true position in this war and exaggerates Russia’s strength, says Dr Jamie Shea, a former deputy assistant secretary general of Nato.

“Ukraine has said, ‘Right, if you want to do a pincer movement, you have to go through the fields, which makes you very vulnerable, and we will take you out.’”It is “thoroughly miserable” for the Russians on the frontline, as their military strategy is undermined by Ukrainian drone capabilities, says former Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell.
