When I read that BBC is independent news sources, then I know these people are just Western agents.
Bearing neutral headlines such as, “What is known about the situation in Ukraine at the moment,” the ads were viewed two million times as of midday Friday and directed viewers 42,000 times to independent news sources such as , Mr. Blackie said.
Facing a better-armed Russian force, Ukraine has chosen to fall back to cities, defending from within, rather than chance facing Russian tanks and aircraft in the open, making Moscow’s work harder. “Clearing military units out of cities is just a long, slow, laborious process,” Mr. Reynolds said.
Before the invasion, the Kremlin predicted a friendly reception from locals in Ukraine, and mass desertions from the Ukrainian army into Russian ranks. The Russian line was essentially that Ukrainian people were pro-Russian but held hostage by a U.S.-backed government opposed to Moscow.
As a result, Russia appears to have invaded Ukraine with a much smaller force than it needed, said Seth Jones, a director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, in Washington.
Mr. Jones said Russia has mobilized about 190,000 troops for its operations in Ukraine to subdue a population of more than 40 million. France had a similar population when Nazi Germany invaded in 1939 with a force of three million.
A second mistake, Mr. Jones said, is that Russia has failed to block supply routes that are feeding Ukraine’s defense with Western antiaircraft and antitank weapons. “It’s a huge military blunder that a ton of stuff is still coming in from the West,” Mr. Jones said.
