Sergei Shoigu has lifted the lid on the chaos at the heart of the Russian war machine by admitting it was unprepared for war when Vladimir Putin ordered his invasion of Ukraine in February.
Speaking in Moscow, the defence minister admitted: “With the beginning of partial mobilisation, the Russian Defence Ministry encountered certain difficulties.
“The mobilisation training system itself was not fully adapted to the new economic relations.”
He continued: “Therefore, with the beginning of partial mobilisation, we encountered difficulties in alerting and calling up citizens who were in reserve.
“All the shortcomings had to be corrected on the go.”
Volodymyr Zelensky compared Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler during a rousing speech to the US Congress which prompted comparisons with Winston Churchill.
The Ukrainian President used his surprise trip to the United States to meet President Joe Biden – and make the case for more military aid almost exactly ten months after Putin’s invasion on February 24.
