Kyiv’s military is far inferior to its Russian counterpart with an air defence system and air force dating back to the Soviet era
* Vladimir Putin’s invasion with Ukraine is not going to plan due to Kremlin ‘overconfidence’ about war aims
* Ukrainian intelligence has claimed that Russia is running out of money, weapons and resources fast
* If Kyiv can hold off the Russian advance on Kyiv for 10 days, the Kremlin may have to enter negotiations
* Dramatic video shows a destroyed Russian convoy with Z-markings near Kherson in southern Ukraine
* Two Russian military transport planes ‘carrying paratroopers’, a fighter jet and helicopter were downed
Vladimir Putin’s war with Ukraine is not going to plan due to Kremlin ‘overconfidence’, poor tactical planning, and ‘shock’ at the fierce resistance put up by brave Ukrainians fighting for national survival, intelligence sources have claimed.
Dramatic video shows a destroyed Russian convoy with Z-markings near Kherson in the south of the country on the third day of fighting after Ukraine’s army held control of Kyiv and last night successfully repelled Russian advances on the capital.
Kyiv’s defence ministry has so far put Russia’s losses at around 2,800 troops, 80 tanks, 516 armoured vehicles, and 10 airplanes and seven helicopters so far.

WNU Editor: No one outside the Kremlin and the top Generals in the Russian military are privy to their plans. And like all war plans, they always change in the first few hours of an invasion. We can only speculate, and in my case WNU has been very clear before the invasion on what the worst case scenario would be if the order was given to invade the country.
Massive destruction. Huge loss of military and civilian life. Up to 5 million refugees fleeing Ukraine. Cities on fire. Hundreds of billions destroyed and lost forever. Russia being a pariah state for the next ten years that will only be repaired when a new Russian leader takes power.
I am 99% sure that President Putin knew that this was the worst case scenario, as well as his Generals, but Putin proceeded anyway because he felt that it was a vital national security concern that Russia needed to act now. And because it is now a vital national security crisis, everything is going to be thrown into the conflict to win it regardless of the cost. And I mean everything.
And my biggest fear.
Russian military doctrine permits the use of tactical nuclear weapons. I am scared to death that they will use these weapons on selected Ukrainian targets if the Kremlin starts to fear that the cost of the Ukraine war is becoming too high.
