Retired Russian Colonel says that 'The whole world is against us' after their disastrous war in Ukraine

 'The whole world is against us': Retired colonel gives damning assessment of Russia's war in Ukraine on state TV as he urges Putin to 'get out of' the conflict

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.
