Ukraine and Russia are set for a “stalemate” as they prepare for a major battle in the Donbas, Britain’s top soldier warned today.
The looming fight for the key eastern region bordering Russia is expected to be hampered by wet, boggy terrain, Chief of the General Staff General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith predicted.
Kremlin forces are “at an operational pause right now as they regroup for a renewed offensive down in the south east”, the head of the Army told the Policy Exchange think tank.
