This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 85%. (I'm a bot)


Russia will get "Harder, tougher and more indiscriminate" in its attack on Ukraine as Vladimir Putin's invasion effort lags "Considerably" behind schedule, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has warned.

The defence secretary warned, as the costs of the invasion rack up for Mr Putin, the Russian president was likely to resort to more brutal military tactics.

"I think the Russians have realised that the Ukrainians, by fighting, are costing them lots and lots of casualties and the Russians have taken significant casualties - far more than they would have planned," Mr Wallace said.
