Vladmir Putin's forces have been destroyed by the Ukrainian resistance and Russia could lose the war, a top UK admiral has said.
As the Russian President vows to carry on with his invasion, Chief of the Defence Staff Admiral, Sir Tony Radakin, said that the invasion in Ukraine "is not going well" for the Kremlin.
He added that Putin's forces are struggling, with eight Russian aircraft shot down in just one day, nearly 500 troops killed and a mass convoy of 15,000 soldiers and hundreds of vehicles at a standstill, The Mirror writes.
When asked whether Russia taking over Ukraine was 'inevitable', Sir Tony told the BBC: "No. I think we've seen a Russian invasion that is not going well.
"I think we're also seeing remarkable resistance by Ukraine, both its armed forces and its people and we're seeing the unity of the whole globe coming together, applying pressure to Russia.
"Russia is suffering, Russia is an isolated power. It is less powerful than it was ten days ago. Some of the lead elements of Russian forces have been decimated by the Ukrainian response.
"You've also seen basic failures in terms of maintenance and their kit failing. Russia hasn't operated at this scale since the Second World War and it is incredibly complex and difficult."
However, he said the key call of Kyiv - a no-fly zone - would not help those on the ground.
Ukrainian leaders have repeatedly called for a no-fly zone but Putin warned that imposing one would be considered "participation in the armed conflict".
Nato has ruled it out as the alliance fears it would spark a wider conflict.
