  • Mikhail Khodaryonok, a retired Soviet colonel, gave a dire assessment of Russia’s war in Ukraine on state TV 
  • He warned that myths of the Ukrainian army being demoralised and in disarray are ‘to put it mildly, false’
  • Said Ukraine may soon have 1m troops armed with western weapons who are ready to ‘fight to the last man’ 
  • Russia is in ‘full geopolitical isolation’ with ‘virtually the entire world against us’,  Khodaryonok added, saying it is a situation that the country ‘needs to get out of’
