Russia’s goal is to invade the whole of Ukraine
Missiles dropped on the Ukrainian capital early on Friday as Russian forces pressed their advance. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy pleaded with the international community to do more, saying sanctions announced so far were not enough.

Russia launched its invasion by land, air and sea on Thursday following a declaration of war by President Vladimir Putin, in the biggest attack on a European state since WWII. “It is definitely our view that the Russians intend to invade the whole of Ukraine,” the Defence Secretary told “Sky”.

He stressed that the Russian army had failed to deliver any of its key objectives, directly contradicting the Russian defence ministry which said it had achieved all of its main aims on the first day of the military operation.

“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, and the Russian army has failed to deliver, on day one, its main objective,” Mr Wallace said. He emphasised that Russia lost more than 450 personnel so far.

Putin is not in his right mind

According to the Russian leader, his country is carrying out “a special military operation” to stop the Ukrainian government from committing genocide against its own people. He also stated that Ukraine is an illegitimate state whose lands historically belong to Russia. Western nations call his accusations baseless. In turn, Defence Secretary Wallace described Vladimir Putin as illogical.

“I certainly think he has gone full tonto,” Mr Wallace said. “No-one else in their right mind would do what we are seeing on our telly screens today,” he added.

In turn, Russia says Western leaders are gripped by Russophobia and that the United States and its allies have been plotting to undermine Russia for decades.
