UK Defense Minister Wallace: Assesses that Russia has only been successful in one of its original objectives
UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace said on Wednesday that the UK assesses Russia to have only been successful so far in one of its original objectives in its invasion of Ukraine. Russia has failed in its aim of taking out Ukrainian air defenses, he noted, and the UK will be supplying the Ukrainians with more anti-tank missiles. The UK is also exploring the donation of an anti-air missile system to Ukraine, Wallace said, noting also that it's vital that Ukraine maintains its ability to fly. The Russian military campaign will get more brutal, Wallace said.
