The head of Ukraine's military has warned the battlefield situation in the east of the country has "significantly worsened" in recent days.

Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russia was benefitting from warm weather - making terrain more accessible to its tanks - and making tactical gains.

Gen Syrskyi said without fresh aid and sophisticated weapons Kyiv would be unable "to seize the strategic initiative" from the numerically superior Russian forces.

Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said Russian strikes against Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure were causing untold suffering.

On Friday, a major power plant near Kyiv was completely destroyed by Russian strikes. Trypillya power plant was the largest electricity provider for three regions, including Kyiv, officials said.

"Numerically superior Russian forces" ?

America and NATO keep telling us that Russia has lost 90% of its army, has just 30,000 soldiers left, that over 70% of their tanks have been destroyed.

So just how few Ukrainians are fighting to defend their homeland ?

Ukraine has an adult male population who could be fighting Russia of around 10 million. A force equivalent to Russia's of 30,000 is just 0.3%

Seems 97.6% don't give a fuck about defending Ukraine. Why should anyone else ?
