In a damning assessment of Russian efforts, Nato's secretary general says Ukraine could win the war.
Nato's secretary general says Russia's war in Ukraine is not going to plan and that its attempt to capture the eastern Donbas region has "stalled".Britain's Ministry of Defence estimates Russia has lost about a third of its ground combat force since the war began in February.Its initial goal appeared to be to sweep across the country and topple the Ukrainian government.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin sees Nato as a security threat to Russia and invaded Ukraine in part to stop it joining Nato.In its assessment, the MoD's estimate of Russia's losses cover men killed or wounded and equipment destroyed or captured.It said Russia was constrained by "continued low morale and reduced combat effectiveness".
On the ground. Ukrainian forces are counterattacking in the city of Izyum, regional governor Oleh Sinegubov said, something that could complicate Russian plans to capture the Donbas.
