Mr Ellwood claimed that Putin was not on his way out like many other Western military experts had been claiming. The British politician urged the West to move up a gear and continue a counter-offensive operation. Mr Ellwood explained that if we did not continue a counter-offensive the conflict in Ukraine to take a dark turn. Putin has ramped up his nuclear threats on Western countries, as he announced a major escalation of the war in Ukraine.
Mr Ellwood told Talk TV: “And I can just say operationally, his latest actions show contrary to Western media comments that he’s not on his way out.
“He’s very much in charge and he will fight back, he’s adding 300,000 troops to this fight, that is significant.
“And that referendum that you touched is absolutely right, this will allow Putin to claim that this is now Russian territory, with implications both for Ukraine and the West and how we respond.
“The West does need to move up a gear, we’ve seen how Ukraine takes advantage of those advanced weapons systems those NATO standard weapons systems to leverage their attacks.
“We need to continue that counter-offensive before it’s too late, otherwise this conflict will turn into a very dark corner.”
