    They have actually given that been slowed down by damp weather condition which has actually made them simple targets for the Ukrainian military, according to western authorities.

    He informed BBC Radio 4: ‘If they are going to attempt to accomplish something by May 9, they will be required to stay on roadways since the mud does not permit armoured manoeuvre cross-country.

    ‘What we will see, therefore, is highly canalised Russian columns that, as we saw north of Kyiv, present the Ukrainians with pretty easy pickings.’
