Ukrainian forces are said to have advanced to the west and north of Kyiv, rebuffing invading Russian forces. Ukraine’s armed forces, according to reports, have begun to target supply lines to one of the Russian fronts advancing on the capital.
“Vladimir Putin’s Russian army could soon suffer the most humiliating defeat in Ukraine’s Northern Front,” Mr Bolt told Sky News Australia.
“This information has not been confirmed.” Understandably, the Ukrainian army is keeping quiet, and they may fail.
“However, there are now signs that the Ukrainians are on the verge of starving this army that is attempting to encircle Kiev to death.”
“Once again, this is unconfirmed.” It’s journalistic chatter, etcetera.
“However, the British say the Minister of Defence has stated that there has been a counter-attack.”
“And, according to a Pentagon spokesman, many solid Russian soldiers are now suffering from hunger and frostbite.”
“In fact, Ukrainian intelligence yesterday released audio of a Russian officer from another front saying that half of his soldiers were now frostbitten, and this is finally looking like Napoleon’s disastrous invasion of Russia.”
It comes after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Western allies to help Ukraine “keep the flame of freedom alive.”
Britain will send thousands more missiles to the Ukrainian government as Mr Johnson travels to Brussels on Thursday for talks with Nato and G7 leaders about the situation one month after the Russian invasion.
He will use his visit to lay out the details of a new military assistance package for Ukraine, which will include 6,000 more anti-tank and high-explosive missiles.
Furthermore, the UK will contribute £25 million from the Foreign Office’s conflict security and stabilisation fund to help pay the salaries of Ukrainian soldiers and pilots fighting the Russians.
“Putin is already failing in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people have shown themselves to be extraordinarily brave and tenacious in defending their homeland, in the face of an unprovoked onslaught,” said Mr Johnson.
