Watch: Russian defence columnist’s damning assessment

As with most wars, there is no shortage of propaganda, but one Russian defence columnist has gone on national TV to give his damning assessment of the war in Ukraine.

Aired on Twitter with English subtitles, Mikhail Khodarynok, says that the stories carried by state TV are false. He says that Ukraine is able to do something Russia can’t and that is to mobilise a million soldiers, which when equipped as they now are by the West have become a formidable force.

In an extremely rare moment of candour on Russian state TV today, defence columnist Mikhail Khodaryonok gave a damning assessment of Russia's war in Ukraine and his country's international isolation. It's fairly long but worth your time so I've added subtitles. pic.twitter.com/0mr7WAgSx6

His damning assessment gives credibility to the claims by Ukraine that they will win the war in the end.
