Russian forces have made minimal progress on land, sea or air in recent days and they continue to suffer heavy losses, the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) said on Thursday.

In its latest Defence Intelligence Update posted on social media, the MoD said that while the Russian invasion had largely stalled, the Ukrainian resistance remained well-coordinated.

"The Russian invasion of Ukraine has largely stalled on all fronts," the MoD intelligence update reads.

Russian forces have made minimal progress on land, sea or air in recent days and they continue to suffer heavy losses. Ukrainian resistance remains staunch and well-coordinated. The vast majority of Ukrainian territory, including all major cities, remains in Ukrainian hands," it adds.

It is remarkable how effective the Ukrainian defense has been against this massive Russian invasion.

1. Get ready for major escalation.

Viewing news sources this morning you have planes flying east out of Moscow. Putins replacement of his entire personal staff recently. 3 different reports of an arrest of a general. With progress stalled on the ground he is going to lash out.

2. All that sounds like last gasps of a desperate failing leader.

I think Putin is nearing his end one way or another.

4. The Ukrainians have used strength

Against weakness while protecting their own weakness.

The adage is ancient

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
