The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says Russian President Vladimir Putin is “suffering intense international humiliation”.
“It’s very difficult for him to pretend that this is all going well,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“They just haven’t taken any significant territory that they want; they still don’t have complete control of Mariupol.
“Having said all that, Putin is a dangerous beast because he’s deeply wounded … we cannot know what calculation he’s making.”
