In Washington, the Pentagon and the U.S. State Department said they could not confirm Russian missiles had landed on Polish territory but were investigating. “The longer Russia feels impunity, the more threats there will be to anyone within reach of Russian missiles.

Warmongers are watching the wrong channelOTTAWA—It has been nearly nine months since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine. What was expected to be a lightning-strike armoured assault to capture Kyiv has turned into a long, drawn-out farcical rout of the Russian military. Last week, Putin’s senior defence officials went on Russian state television to announce they would be making a temporary tactical withdrawal from the Ukrainian city of Kherson. With Ukraine having successfully destroyed or damaged the major bridges, the Russian military can no longer supply and sustain the roughly 40,000 soldiers in their Kherson bridgehead on the west bank of the Dnipro River. The fate of those Russian troops will be determined in the days ahead, as Ukraine’s military continues to advance faster than the Russians can evacuate their forces back to the east bank of the Dnipro.

To make up the loss of frontline combat capable units, Putin reluctantly ordered the mobilization of 300,000 ill-motivated reservists. In terms of equipment, Russian losses have been equally heavy, with shattered armoured vehicles littering the Ukraine landscape from Kyiv to Kharkiv to Kherson. To replenish this arsenal, Putin is able to tap into the vast fleets of moth-balled Soviet Union-era armoured vehicles.

The best result Putin can hope for now is to slow the Ukrainian counter offensive, dig in on the east bank of the Dnipro, and hope that crippling oil and gas shortages across western Europe force Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s allies to demand a negotiated settlement.
