Ukraine may be able to withstand the Russian invasion for “as long as we can supply them” with weaponry and “for as long as their morale holds up,” the former head of the UK’s Defence Intelligence has said.

Air Marshal Philip Osborn said on March 20 that the Ukrainians have been “amazing” in their resistance so far.
