• 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'
Russian state media's trumped-up narrative of Putin's glorious war in Ukraine was last night shattered by a retired colonel who gave an unusually frank and damning assessment of the situation on the frontlines and world stage.
Mikhail Khodarenok, a former air defence commander and graduate of some of the Soviet Union's top military schools, used his platform on one of Russia's most-watched talk shows to warn that the war is going badly and is likely to get worse, and that nuclear sabre-rattling - far from being threatening - actually 'looks quite amusing'.
Ukraine, he said, will soon have mobilised more than a million soldiers who will be trained by the West and equipped with modern weapons, ready to fight and die to protect their homeland against Russia.
Batting aside repeated interruption from propagandist Olga Skabeyeva that the army will be mostly made of conscripts, Khodarenok insisted that how an army is recruited is irrelevant - what really matters is willingness to fight, and Ukraine 'intends to fight to the last man.'
Russia's position on the world stage is no better, he added, pointing out that 'we are in full geopolitical isolation, and that, however much we would hate to admit this, virtually the entire world is against us. And it's that situation that we need to get out of.'
Khodarenok's remarks, broadcast to millions of Russians who until now have been spoon-fed a narrative of their military's prowess and Ukraine's weakness, mark a stunning break with the state-sanctioned narrative and puts him at extreme odds with the Kremlin stooges stood to either side of him.

Colonel Khodaryonok is an exceedingly brave man.
By telling the truth, he has put himself and his family at grave risk.
The Butcher of Ukraine, Putin, will not take kindly to this realistic assessment
Bravo for the colonel.

About 15,000 Russian troops have died in the invasion of Ukraine, per UK's defense secretary.
Roughly the same number of Soviet soldiers died during the nine-year war in Afghanistan.
At least 2,665 civilians have been killed in Ukraine to date, according to the UN's OHCHR.
The Russian mothers were instrumental in the Russian retreat from Afghanistan.
They will be instrumental in the Russian retreat from Ukraine.

They've lost over 800 tanks, thousands of military hardware like troop carriers, self propelled guns, radar installations and missile launchers. Nobody takes Putin's nuclear threats seriously and he will have to be taken out one way or the other, Novichok is as good as any and true karma.

Putin still has allies among Tucker Carlson, Majorie Taylor Green, Donald Trumpf, Rand Paul, Madison Cawthorne et al.
