Tobias Ellwood, chair of UK parliament’s defence select committee, has said “it is worth pausing to reflect gravity of this movement – Ukraine launching its own counterattack to liberate its own territory after halting the advance of the third largest army in the world. That is quite an incredible movement moving from defence to attack.”
“We should really manage expectations. While Ukraine has been preparing for this moment, Russia has been busy building its own significant defences, pouring concrete anti tank obstacles hoping to stall this offensive.
“They want this offensive to be frozen so that support dries up, and talks can then begin. Ukraine needs to demonstrate progress to ensure western support continues with those tanks, long range missiles, and F-16s.
“This may take a series of waves for this to conclude. This won’t happen overnight.”
