Russia has already “strategically lost” the war in Ukraine despite achieving “tactical successes” in recent weeks, the head of the UK’s armed forces has said.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the UK’s chief of defence staff, called the war “a dreadful mistake by Russia,” in which he said it has lost 25 percent of its land power for only “tiny” gains.
